At the heart of my work is a commitment to honesty, beauty, and stillness. I believe that art should not only be seen but felt—offering a moment of pause, presence, and quiet connection.
I once traded a painting for a handmade quilt.
I paint to folk records and rainy-day playlists.
I collect antique postcards but never send them.
