meditation through brushstrokes


Drawing inspiration from over a decade as a food photographer, I bring a unique perspective to my art. While I don’t have formal training, my eye for detail shapes my work—but I firmly believe that true beauty lies in the chaos.

Painting is my meditation, a cathartic journey that helps me navigate personal healing from profound childhood trauma and make sense of the complexities of the modern world around me.

Each brushstroke is intuitive, an exploration of emotion and connection. My style is constantly evolving as I experiment with new media, techniques, and feelings—splattered onto the canvas in bold, unstructured marks. Much of my work is fueled by anger and hope, remnants of a life shaped by both heartache and beauty.

I transform these complex emotions onto the canvas, creating pieces that, to me, are beautiful in their own messy, imperfect way, just like life.

At its core, my artwork is about finding beauty in the chaos and inviting others to do the same. Through raw, emotional expression, I hope to inspire viewers to see that transformation —of pain into hope, of disorder into beauty—is always possible.
