“I began working in oils in 2020 during a painting trip to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico…Since then, I have devoted myself to painting outdoors whenever possible, interpreting light, color, value, and form through both observation and emotional response. I am continually inspired by the idea that every place holds a unique beauty and a story waiting to be expressed."
