I draw rich inspiration from the early Renaissance and its brilliant artists. I love merging timeless themes with a modern twist, weaving narratives that resonate with the intricate emotions and connections we share. My primary mediums are oil and watercolor, but I also enjoy working with acrylics, charcoal, graphite, and pen and ink. I invest significant thought into composition, value, and color to bring my ideas to life. Each artwork begins with a concept that gradually unfolds into a complete body of work, showcasing my journey of artistic exploration and expression. In addition to my personal projects,
I have had the pleasure of creating commissioned portraits that capture the essence of people from all walks of life, young and old. My portraits reside in both private and public collections, and I take pride in my ability to forge meaningful connections through my art.
