I picked up a paintbrush for the first time in January 2021. I soon discovered a feverish passion for translating my world into paint. I have always been absurdly delighted by color, carefully studying differences in hues and shades, how they relate to one another, viscerally reacting to combinations that appeal or repel. When I paint, I am fully immersed in hue, shadow, and light. My practice is to paint daily, and to absorb lessons from each piece. 

My work is a striving for space, joy, and simplicity in our noisy and chaotic world. My work draws cues from classicism, realism, and impressionism. I am inspired by the luminous light of Sargent, the vivacious color of Kahlo, the clean hues of Hopper, and the brilliant exactitude of contemporary classicist Jacob Collins.
