I’m an oil painter who’s been exploring the world of art since 2016. I started with Plein Air (outdoor) painting and later took on the challenge of portraiture around 2020. Occasionally, I dabble in figure painting too.

Plein Air painting is my way to unwind—it’s simple, freeing, and all about capturing the big picture with a trusty one-inch flat brush. I just let the process flow and see what happens—it’s the perfect escape!

Portraiture, on the other hand, requires more precision. Unlike trees and clouds, a face has to look just right to capture someone’s likeness. It’s tricky, but nothing beats the moment when someone sees themselves in my work.
