I paint who people are beneath the surface
Welcome
"I paint people because I’m drawn to their personalities — and why they do what they do.
It’s that individuality that interests me.
I look for what sits beneath the surface, capturing emotion and character in a way that feels both personal and universal."

I Can See Clearly Now
I Can See Clearly Now
An elderly woman holds a teddy bear, a simple but powerful symbol of comfort and emotional security. The work reflects the human need to feel needed, especially in later life. It leaves the question: where do we turn for comfort when connection fades?
I Can See Clearly Now
I Can See Clearly Now
I Can See Clearly Now
A nun, wearing eye-test glasses, stares toward a sign reading “God.” The painting explores what defines us as individuals — belief, influence, and experience. It asks whether who we are is chosen, or shaped by everything we absorb from the world around us.
Are You There?
I Can See Clearly Now
Are You There?
An elderly woman peers through her fingers like goggles, searching for something lost. The work reflects grief and the human need for support to feel whole. It asks a quiet question: do we live in the past, or allow ourselves to move forward while still holding memory?
