Beauty surrounds us, but usually we need to be walking in a garden to know it. -Rumi

My work is rooted in the delicate beauty of the natural world and expressed through watercolor, gouache and the luminous touch of gold leaf. I use these materials to explore themes of nature, the human condition, and an urgent need for conservation.

I draw inspiration from the quiet poetry of wild spaces and the thoughtful reverence of man-made gardens. I am particularly fascinated by the tension that exists between organic and cultivated spaces and how this duality reflects our relationship with the natural world. It is my desire to create images that are both visually captivating and emotionally resonant.

I find experiencing nature alongside my young son an endless source of creative inspiration. Seeing the world through his eyes—full of wonder, curiosity, and openness—reveals magic in even the smallest details and renews my desire to bring reverence to each new work. 

Each painting is meant to be, first and foremost, beautiful: a celebration of nature's elegance and fragility. But beyond that, I hope to invite reflection on what is at stake in our changing world, and to gently ask what role we each play in preserving or transforming the spaces we inhabit.
