Combining Art & Classic Entertainment
My mom told me not to talk to strangers. I didn’t listen — and I don’t regret it.
Some of the most memorable and pivotal moments of my life began with a simple hello: meeting mentors in coffee shops, sharing laughter on trains, and making fleeting connections that have fundamentally changed the way I think. These chance encounters have only fueled my passion for genuine connection, which I bring to every aspect of my work.
Art has always been instinctual for me, or something that I have done almost unconsciously whether sketching at a cafe or painting on my living room floor. Over time, I realized others were quietly watching, drawn in by the transformation unfolding in front of them. It was described to me as “seeing an image come into focus.” This is when I realized painting is more than capturing a moment. It creates an experience and facilitates connection.
Live event painting is where my passions collide. It’s a joy and an honor to turn moments into heirlooms all while letting others witness my process in real time.

Wine Sight
This July, Balsall Creek Winery welcomed a select group of artists for a plein air painting event. While I enjoyed capturing the landscape, I felt inspired to take my work one step further.
This new series began with images captured that day and quickly grew into an exploration of hindsight. Blending abstract and realistic elements, I explore how perspective shifts when we reach the end of a chapter.
The original is available for purchase at the winery between August 15 and September 15. More paintings and prints from this series will become available for purchase here on September 22.

This summer, I was commissioned to paint a “first look”. The result was a romantic, atmospheric portrait of the couple under the trees that raised the bride.
