About
My work is inspired by the wildness of nature and the quiet rhythms of the seasons. I explore themes of time, memory and nostalgia, always embracing simplicity and imperfection.
I approach my painting practice with curiosity, allowing each artwork to evolve intuitively and spontaneously. It is often a gentle dance between the subject, the materials and the present moment.
For me, art is an invitation to pause, slow down, and appreciate the beauty in life’s simple things.
