My paintings are grounded in a practice of direct observation, but they’re more than just portraits or realistic depictions. Each brushstroke captures a moment—distilling movement, feeling, and memory on the canvas.

Painted entirely from life, these works are meant to capture the immediacy and poetry of the moment.
