I began creating art at a young age, pursuing degrees in Painting/Drawing and Graphic Design, followed by a Masters in Teaching. My experiences shaped a contemporary realism style evident in my paintings and drawings. I primarily work with oils, watercolors, graphite, and mixed media, showcasing my love for contrast and color theory. My subjects aim to highlight the beauty in objects or scenes, whether it's the intimate detail of a camera or flower, or a sweeping landscape. My goal is to capture these unique moments and preserve them in my artwork.

My art is nurtured by a profound love for places and nature, sparking exploration and creative ideas. I am passionate about capturing life's moments, presenting diverse perspectives, vibrant colors, and thoughtful compositions in each piece. My objective is to evoke emotions and experiences, transforming ordinary moments into art that ignites inspiration and wistfulness. Whether through an intricate object or an expansive landscape, my work embodies the profound connection between creativity and the beauty of the world around us.
