Statement
My paintings draw from everyday life, focusing on quiet, unguarded moments that hint at something deeper beneath the surface. I’m especially drawn to the stillness between actions—the subtle spaces where meaning gathers and lingers.
I collect my subjects through the camera, capturing people and animals in ordinary states of being: often alone, yet surrounded by possibility.
Through painting, I discover and explore currents of magic and energy that I see connecting all living things, revealing the unseen threads that bind us to one another and to the vast, living world we share.
Dividing my time between studios in Ventura, Los Angeles, and New Jersey, the diverse people, animals, and landscapes I encounter along the way become central characters in my broader, composite mythology.
