My paintings honor the quiet resilience and enduring beauty of rural life—farmhouses and barns standing as timeless symbols of heritage, set against open fields and rolling hills. Through layered textures and expressive color, I explore the deep, dynamic bond between people and the land.

About Me

I paint pastoral landscapes and architecture pared down to their essential forms. With minimal visual cues, I aim to invoke rather than illustrate—suggesting natural formations that guide the viewer's imagination. I’m particularly drawn to the interplay between color and texture in defining space.

My style leans toward simplicity and visual economy, allowing instinct and emotion to guide the process. Rather than capturing every detail, I strive to convey a scene as a whole—bordering on abstraction and evoking a sense that goes beyond words.

I began my career as a graphic designer and creative director, with a strong focus on user-centric design. That experience taught me the power of “less is more,” a philosophy that continues to shape my approach to painting.

My work is held in private collections across the US, Canada, and England, as well as in the corporate collection of BioMed Realty in Boston. It is also part of the permanent exhibit at the Encaustic Art Institute in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
