What Inspires Me?

Encountering a vast and unexplored landscape feels both daunting and exhilarating. Will we give in to fear and turn around, or take a deep dive into the unknown and accept the outcome? Painting the landscape presents similar risks and challenges. A blank canvas provides an opportunity to build connections between the chaos of the outside world and the deeply human response it evokes. Sometimes my artwork is quite literal, capturing the light and beauty of a particular moment. Moving away from that moment, the work evolves into a more abstract representation of memory and emotion. Art can never truly replicate nature; we may only attempt to interpret it. My goal is to evoke a sense of connection, timelessness, and hope for the future.
