About

My work grows from a faith in what is shared among us, the gestures and silences that tell who we are when we’ve set aside our noise and hurry. I try to paint the ordinary beauty of people, the kind that endures beyond culture or time. What I seek is not likeness alone, but a sign of kinship that thread of spirit that binds one life to another. Each piece, in its quiet way, is an offering toward understanding, a bridge of attention between lives.

I paint as one might listen: patiently, with care. I study the light on a face, the weight of a color, the rhythm of a line, hoping these things might speak truthfully. The work asks the viewer to slow down, to look long enough to remember that our differences are thin and passing, while our belonging runs deep. What I hope to show, again and again, is the simple grace of being human together.
