Oil Paint

30’’ by 48’’

My work is rooted in the natural world such as landscapes, wildlife, still life, and the abstract. Working primarily in oil, I approach each painting through the lens of Impressionism, seeking to capture not just what I see, but what I feel in a moment: light, motion, stillness, and presence. Art has always been part of my life. I began drawing as a child, and over time, that instinct evolved into a deeper creative calling. I transitioned to oil painting after being inspired by a professional rock climber who also painted vivid landscapes. Something in his work pushed me towards painting and I have never looked back.
