About
Intensity and imperfection have been my creative companions for as long as I can recall. I see the world with such intensity: its colors so vivid and its textures so deep. Even a simple tree standing in a field or cloud dangling over water reveals such complexity, I'm at a loss for words. The only way to capture is to use every surface as a potential canvas for my paint or pen. Working across various mediums, I utilize drips, unexpected colors, and diverse textures to evoke vibrant expression. Naturally drawn to imperfection, I find joy in blending what I see and experience in loose abstraction, considering it the true essence of my art.
