This collection is a reflection of my journey—intimate, evolving, and deeply personal.

From painting my youngest son lost in thought, to capturing the charm of a Venetian canal and the nostalgic hum of a vintage car, my work is rooted in observation and emotional connection. The
bouquet exists because I lack a green thumb but still yearn for the beauty of blooms. “Stepping Out” marks a pivotal moment in my life —graduation, and the steps into a new chapter.

There’s a quiet romance in the everyday: a bottle of wine, a glimpse of skin, a city I’ve loved, or a person I see in a different light. These subjects, though varied, all stem from the same place—my desire to freeze a feeling, a place, or a perspective before it slips away.

This show is more than a body of work—it’s a visual journal. A story of where I’ve been, what I’ve seen, and who I’ve become through paint.
