artist statement :
“I love to create paintings that tell stories and invite the viewer into a visual narrative. Landscape, nature and symbolism is an important part of my work, allowing me to express ideas and meaning beyond what is immediately seen.
By translating stories I have read, heard, or imagined into visual form my aim is to create paintings that engage the viewer and allow them to form a personal connection with the artwork”
