A note from the artist,

I make paintings that begin with subjects we think we already understand. by shifting scale, proportion, and color, i aim to create a moment of hesitation where something familiar feels slightly off.

​

my work is grounded in acrylic on canvas and built through layered surfaces. i'm interested in imagery that holds a sense of elegance while also considering tension. 

​

each piece is part of an evolving body of work that explores distortion and observation. alongside original collections and prints, i take on a limited number of custom commissions, approaching each collaboration with intention and clarity.
