Statement
My latest Exhibition “Reality Check” is a reflection of my commitment to painting the world as I see it. I seek stories woven into the fabric of everyday life. The world is wild, and there is much to paint. I embrace that energy. In the studio time fades, night deepens, and the work continues. I follow my instincts to the next subject. All with the intent on capturing a fleeting glimpse of our shared human experience.
Manus mea, lex mea
