I’m an artist focused on continually improving my craft through plein air painting and observational study. Inspired by the expressive brushwork and luminous storytelling of John Singer Sargent and contemporary painters such as Kyle Ma, my work explores color, movement, and the fleeting qualities of natural light.

“When we painters look at things, we do not see more than other people, we see less. We do not see beauty where others cannot, but we do have the ability to stop the stream of time, to eliminate trivia, and thus understand why things look the way they do. In doing so we can concentrate a viewer’s attention on the fascination of the purely visual. We can simplify things and arrest them at any moment of their happening” (Richard Schmid, Alla Prima II, p. 164).

Artistic Journey

My artistic practice centers around studying light, atmosphere, and form through direct observation. Whether painting outdoors or in the studio, I aim to create work that is honest, expressive, and alive.

I work primarily in oil and acrylic, using plein air painting to strengthen my understanding of color relationships , edges, and composition. Each painting is part of an ongoing process of refinement and exploration.

“Every painting is another opportunity to learn how to truly see.”
