I paint quiet moments — the kind you only notice when everything else slows down.
My practice is rooted in mindfulness, softness, and emotional observation. Using oil paint, I create small, layered works that explore stillness, memory, and the gentle weight of everyday things.
Often, the subjects are simple: a folded piece of masking tape, a quiet corner in a noisy restaurant, objects gathered on a walk with a friend’s puppy. But beneath that simplicity is a kind of attention — the kind I didn’t always know how to give myself.
For a long time, I believed I had to fix everything internally by doing more: journaling, meditating, overthinking. I thought clarity came from control. But healing didn’t arrive through solving — it came through noticing. Through soft awareness. Through painting.
Now, I paint slowly. One brushstroke at a time. No sketches, just an underlayer and layers built gently on top. I let each piece become what it needs to be. Some paintings stay with me for weeks before I’m ready to show them. And when I finally do, I hope they offer others a sense of calm — or recognition. A pause they didn’t know they needed.
I don’t paint to be loud.
I paint to stay.
