My paintings are a way for me to acknowledge and cherish the subtle, transitory nature of everyday life. I am particularly drawn to experiences that I share with friends and loved ones. Imbued with a warm sense of nostalgia, humor, and childlike curiosity, I find these experiences quietly enchanting and awe-inspiring. They persist in my memory and are reborn while looking over old pictures or catching up with a friend. These moments are often heightened by unusual lighting that showcases the natural beauty in an otherwise commonplace landscape.

In each painting, I depict a singular moment within the larger narrative of these experiences. Using egg tempera paint, I can quickly and playfully add or retract elements as I figure out how to translate the magic of these moments to an observer while staying true to the intimate and remarkable. nature of the inspiration.
