I’m a Canadian artist based in Ontario. My work begins with photography, images I capture in passing, whether while traveling or within everyday life. I’m drawn to composition, light, and shape, and having control over my reference images is what first sparks inspiration, both behind the lens and later on the canvas.

There is no urgency in what I choose to capture or paint. I’m continuously open to what is around me, collecting moments as they come, whether it is a quiet sunset or a dimly lit interior. That sense of freedom allows the subject matter to shift naturally, guided more by observation than intention.

I work within a limited palette to create cohesion across my paintings while maintaining full control over how colour and tone are developed. By mixing each colour myself, I’m able to build more intentional relationships between hues, resulting in a consistent atmosphere that carries throughout my work.

My paintings are built through layers of loose brushwork, where details begin to dissolve up close and come into focus from a distance. This balance between abstract and realism is central to my practice, allowing each piece to exist between the two.

At its core, my work is rooted in personal moments, but held in a way that invites something more universal. I aim to create a quiet connection between my own experiences and the viewer’s, where something familiar can be felt, even if it isn’t fully defined.
