Working from my studio in Northern California, I create layered oil paintings rooted in contemporary figurative expressionism. I balance highly rendered focal points with loose brushwork to create movement and atmosphere. My work explores themes of transformation and resilience through portraiture, botanical elements, and wildlife.

I paint women and nature because they embody resilience, change, and the quiet beauty that often goes unnoticed. My hope is that each piece offers a place to pause, reflect, and reconnect with themselves.
