ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Creating art offers me a way to connect not only with the natural beauty of the world around me but also to explore visuals and concepts that are meaningful to me on a personal growth level. My artwork has been a fulfilling way that I can focus my thoughts and energy on the things that bring me a feeling of calm.
My primary goal as a creator is to share a sense of beauty, optimism, inspiration, and compassion with collectors of my work. I believe that the art we hang on our walls is often not just for decoration, but a reflection of our inner selves and what we care about the most.

Summer is full of feelings of nostalgia. It’s the return of late nights laughing with friends by the fire, camping in the woods, and the sounds of the lake gently lapping against the shore at the family cabin. Best of all the? Multi-coloured sunsets that paint the sky in celebration of the day that just passed, and promise another day of bliss.
