ABOUT

The Eastern Shores have shaped the way I see the world. It is a place where the wind moves through sunlit trees, carrying the salt air from the ocean. Light and color shift across the water and horizon, always changing, always familiar. These moments linger in memory, carrying a deep sense of longing, appreciation, and transformation.

When I paint, I follow that feeling. My work comes from the space where memory and imagination meet, fragments of daydreams suspended between what was and what is. Past and present blur, here and elsewhere fold into one another, and the warmth and longing of nostalgia, settles over everything. Places soften, distort, and are reimagined over time. Architecture dissolves into landscape, familiar spaces stretch and shift, and light flickers between presence and absence. Layers of structure and atmosphere merge to create spaces that feel familiar yet unreachable, transformed by distance, like a place you’ve known but can never return to in the same way.

I begin with observation, but I paint from recollection. Moments are distilled into shapes and colors that hover between the recognizable and the abstract. I shape some of my canvases into parallelograms, trapezoids, and some tilt slightly away from the wall to heighten the sensation of shifting perspective. These canvases mirror memory itself: some vivid, some fragmented, and others warped by time, as if the painting remembers alongside me.

My work invites viewers into a reflective space where memory and imagination intertwine, where nostalgia unfolds as both longing and appreciation, like the tide carrying fragments of time, place, and feeling that linger, shift, and settle. These paintings offer a place of reflection between what was, what is, and what is imagined, all at once.
