Thank you for visiting my page.
I am self-taught. Largely, working on canvas and paper, I apply various materials and techniques for added interest and texture, usually incorporating collage into my pieces.
I am interested in a range of styles and subjects, but am principally inspired by color and form. I am fascinated by illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages and often use gold/silver leaf to add a sense of luminosity to my images.
My work explores small, quiet moments of beauty and the way they linger in our memory—whether in a forest under a glowing moon, a vase of tulips on a table, or a single butterfly suspended in space. I’m drawn to familiar subjects from nature and everyday life, and I use them as a way to slow down and invite the viewer into a more contemplative state.
Working in a slightly impressionistic style, I focus on mood and atmosphere rather than strict realism. I’m interested in how a few carefully placed shapes, a shift in color temperature, or the softness of an edge can completely change the emotional tone of a piece.
Ultimately, my works are invitations to pause. They reflect acceptance of everyday beauty, asking the viewer to look a little longer and find stillness, wonder, and a touch of magic in ordinary things.
I am drawn to small art format because it gives me the freedom to explore various techniques and materials in an immediate and accessible manner.
