I create paintings that carry meaning, ideas, philosophies, and emotions that words can’t quite ignite. I blend color, shape, line, and texture into deeper meaning, scaling each work the way someone might compose a story. My hope is to speak through texture and light.

I build each canvas by hand, layering acrylic paint and deliberate palette strokes until the surface reveals its design. Dimensional, alive, and full of intensity. My goal is for the viewer to read the title, see the painting, and understand its essence through their eyes alone.

My work exists between structure and spontaneity, where control meets curiosity. Each painting is a study of balance, of meaning and emotion, chaos and order. A process that mirrors human experience as I know it. When I paint, I’m translating the unseen into something you can stand before and feel.

Commissions

Every commission begins with a blank wall seeking meaning and color. My process is intentional and collaborative - we discuss your vision, select examples from previous works that resonate with you, and then I design the composition, palette, and texture to align with that energy.

Each piece is built by hand, from the canvas to the final varnish, blending structured planning with intuitive movement. The result is more than a painting, it’s a shared idea made tangible, a collaborative thought piece that grows with you over time.

If you’d like to explore a custom work, send me an email to start the conversation.
