Finding beauty in the stories of everyday life is where every painting begins for me. I try to capture that fleeting moment; the kind that makes me pause, look again, and feel something familiar. It’s that spark of connection and belonging that draws me in.

The story becomes my anchor throughout the painting process. I work through compositions and values, carefully choose color harmonies, and build a space meant for quiet reflection. My hope is to extend an invitation to the viewer, to sit with the painting, and perhaps, find a piece of their own story within it.
