About the artist

I am a painter drawn to faces, expressions, and the quiet stories they tell. While I enjoy working in florals, landscapes, and still lifes, portraiture-of both people and animals-is where my heart truly lives.

My work is rooted in realism with a painterly touch, aiming to capture not just a likeness, but a sense of character and presence. I'm inspired by timeless style, classic portrait traditions, and moments that feel intimate, dignified, or slightly whimsical.

Whether I'm painting a beloved pet, a commissioned portrait, or an imagined subject, my goal is always the same: to create work that feels personal, soulful, and lasting-something meant to be lived with and passed down.

Each painting is created with care, patience, and an appreciation for the beauty found in individuality.
