My paintings emerge from emotional depths, defying conventional boundaries, and following an instinct more than a plan.
Portraits, figures, eyes, seascapes, and landscapes each become vessels for feelings beyond words. What unites them isn’t what they depict, but what they hold: presence, tension, and mystery.
Faces, especially eyes, pull me in. There’s a silence in them I want to understand. Sometimes they speak more than a full composition.
I don’t limit myself to a single direction. I follow what feels urgent. Some series arrive from personal history. Others are born from where I am, like the ocean and atmosphere of southern Florida, which continue to shape how I see and what I paint.
My process is layered and patient. I build slowly, allowing space for uncertainty and change. I don’t paint to illustrate, I paint to feel, to search, and sometimes to remember.
