Working in both realistic and abstract styles, painting transports me to another world where I communicate through colours and shapes. When you look at my oil paintings, I want you to feel the layers of light, emotion, and energy - I'm trying to transform paint into feelings.

Inspired by nature, everyday experiences, and the vast spectrum of art history, I strive to capture a sense of wonder in my paintings.

My realistic pieces capture intricate details and the essence of my subjects, while my abstract works explore broader concepts and emotions. Each piece invites viewers to delve deeper to uncover new layers of meaning as they engage with the art.

I spent seven years studying oil painting, academic drawing, and abstract painting in Sydney and New York, focusing on both traditional and contemporary techniques. Ultimately, my goal is simply to create art that resonates on an emotional level, bringing a sense of magic and wonder into the everyday.
