I have always been a creator, and nature continues to be my greatest source of inspiration. I love painting on location, working to capture the light and colors of a place. I also take photographs as reference, returning to my studio to create larger works where I can explore scale, gesture, and the textures of paint itself.

Over the years, I have worked in oil, watercolor, acrylic, pastel, and batik. Each medium brings unique challenges and inspirations, and I believe that moving between them keeps my practice fresh. Every painting leads to the next - each one a step in a lifelong exploration.

For me, painting is a form of prayer. It is a way of honoring beauty, of reflecting deeply, and of sharing moments of connection with others. My hope is that when you experience my work, you see not only the subject but also the way I have felt it - through my eyes, heart, and hand.

Since moving to Hawai‘i, I have come to embrace the spirit of Aloha ʻĀina - the love of and respect for the land. With gratitude, I dedicate my work to this place and its beauty, and I hope that my paintings bring joy and lift the spirit of those who view them.
