I create art to translate emotion into something visible, capturing moments that feel both real and slightly out of reach.

I’m drawn to creating realistic paintings infused with vibrant, dreamlike color palettes. I love taking something grounded in reality and pushing it into a more emotional, almost surreal space. My work often starts from a real subject, but evolves through color and layering to create something that feels both familiar and slightly otherworldly
Where do you find inspiration?i find inspiration all around me. In some of the simplest things in nature to deep profound psychology.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest into my fine art future. The $25k would go to start a small business as an artist and a teacher.
