My paintings explore interior landscapes - the unseen terrains through which we experience, interpret, and remain connected to life. I am interested in presence: the presence of the painter, the presence of the viewer, and the painting as a meeting point between inner worlds.

Using landscape as a visual language, I work intuitively to reflect lived experience from the inside - its complexity, vulnerability, and ongoingness. Foregrounds are often dense and textured, shaped by what is known and endured, while distant spaces open toward light, possibility, and what remains unresolved. Doors, windows, and thresholds recur as points of recognition and choice, suggesting moments of engagement that may invite, but never demand, entry.

Rather than offering escape, the work seeks to stay with what is - holding both difficulty and hope without resolving either. I am drawn to light not as solution, but as illumination: something that reveals, draws attention, and allows meaning to be seen.

I hope the paintings offer a place of recognition, where viewers feel met, and leave feeling steadier, braver, and more awake to their own interior lives.

I started this body of work in 2018 and though the work has developed and changed, the focus remains the same.
