My paintings come from moments that stay with me, the ones that sit in your chest and grow into something visual before you even realize it. I work with acrylic paints because it lets me move fast and follow whatever feeling shows up. A lot of my pieces start with an emotion I can't yet explain, and the story slowly shows itself as I paint. I'm drawn to the quiet parts of connection and the small things people don't say out loud - it draws me in to create something that is honest and meets people where they are.
