Artist Bio: I am a contemporary oil painter who translates ordinary experiences into visual stories through observation and emotion with the goal of creating work that feels both honest and real.
My art is inspired by the great masters of art history, including the boundless imagination of Gustav Klimt’s, the technical precision of John Singer Sargent, and the harmonious color schemes of Édouard Vuillard. My most profound influence, however, comes from growing up in a family of artists, where creativity deeply shaped my approach to painting.
I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting and Drawing from the University of Utah, where I explored a variety of media, though my passion has always been in oil painting.
Oil painting allows me to create work that feels personal and sincere—work that others can connect with in their own way. Through simple moments, I hope to share something real.
