Unbound

2025

Acrylic on canvas

Black cats with amber eyes gathered in a golden halo above a tombstone marked R.I.P., a spilled red glass, and the word ENOUGH, in a storm of violet and grey oils.

The Pain of My Mother

2023

Oil on canvas

An open hand rising against washed violet, each finger painted into something else — a bird, a flame, a river, a tree growing from the fingertip.

Only Human

2024

Oil on canvas

A luminous heart of red and molten yellow filling a black field, ribbons of white and orange moving around it, small geometric forms waiting at the edges.

It's Not That Complicated

The collections

Follow what
moves you.

Four ways into the work.
No right place to begin.

01
Black cats with amber eyes gathered in a golden halo above a tombstone marked R.I.P., a spilled red glass, and the word ENOUGH, in a storm of violet and grey oils.

Family & Inheritance

The worlds we come from, and the ones we make.

02
A whole chapter compressed onto one canvas — dense small scenes, a green face, tic-tac-toe marks, birds, a red heart and a silver spiral — now held at observing distance.

Love & Loss

What the heart builds, keeps, and finally lets go.

03
An open hand rising against washed violet, each finger painted into something else — a bird, a flame, a river, a tree growing from the fingertip.

The Marks We Leave

Hands, footprints, and the proof of being here.

04
A mind in two weathers — a warm amber field with interlocking rings and a deep red orb beside a midnight blue field of stars, small framed thoughts scattered between.

Inner Landscapes

The invisible architecture of thought.

An open hand rising against washed violet, each finger painted into something else — a bird, a flame, a river, a tree growing from the fingertip.

Only Human · Oil on canvas, 2024

Meet the artist

A house. A hand. A heart. A whole world underneath.

Painted intuitively in oil and acrylic, each work holds a different piece of the inner world. Some are tender. Some are restless. All invite you to feel something of your own.

01 / Process

The Symbols That Keep Returning

Hands, hearts, houses, suns, pathways. I stopped choosing them years ago — now I just answer the door.

On Painting Family

Father and The Pain of My Mother were the two hardest canvases I have ever finished. They were also the two that taught me why I paint.
