Biography

As a graphic designer, while my job is creative, I need personal creative freedom to stay inspired—this is where my painting and drawing come in. I am inspired by places and moments that catch my eye: quirky buildings and small hidden spots that have a story. When I visit new places, I’m constantly aware of my surroundings, spotting interesting things, people and places: the way the light falls on a building, or the way vines grow up a tall tree trunk. 

For me, art is meditation: a mindful experience of being fully present while capturing the essence of a place or moment. By looking closely at every nook and cranny of an old building, or concentrating on every shape that makes up nature, I feel more deeply connected to the world around me. Every painting, drawing and sketch captures a meaningful experience in my life. By drawing the intimate details of a place or a moment, I hope that that others might also find peace, calm and beauty at looking at it every day.
