My Work

Drawing from the ethos that we are all just muses to one another, emotional integrity is central to art. By using visual language, I tell stories of the atmospheric emotionality of life. The work has helped me learn that even the worst parts of myself I have to love. My paintings are forms that are minimal and straightforward, emulating honesty and love; a reality that is a mirror of the dignity of our existence. I paint what I feel when I look out onto the world. My work is atmospheric, organic, spectral and it speaks directly to the human experience.
