Acrylic, gouache, charcoal

Paintings that hold the weight of a moment

From plein-air landscapes to gestural portraits, these works chase color, weather, and the quiet pause between breaths.

Study from a plein-air painting session

Each canvas begins on location—quick color notes in a sketchbook, followed by larger works that keep the immediacy of the first mark. I gravitate toward early morning light, long shadows, and faces that reveal a lived-in rhythm.
