My paintings invite you into a quiet, electric kind of intimacy—the sense of catching someone’s inner world in a single suspended moment. Inspired by the depth of theater, I condense an entire emotional arc into one still frame. Nothing is overstated, yet everything is charged: the tilt of a head, a glimmer of light across the cheek, a gesture carrying its own unspoken tension. These are works meant to be lived with—pieces that keep unfolding long after they’re on your wall.

Each painting is built slowly and deliberately with oil and tempera on hand-prepared surfaces—linen stretched by hand, sculpted wood, stitched silk. I use rabbit-skin glue and true gesso because they create a depth and luminosity you can feel even across a room. The texture, the layers, the quiet radiance—they give the work a presence that transforms a space. These paintings don’t simply hang; they inhabit.

I’m especially drawn to sfumato—the soft merging of light and shadow that lets the figure seem to breathe, to emerge or dissolve as though suspended between states. The result is a mood that feels both contemporary and timeless, figurative yet dreamlike. My work lives in that charged space between clarity and mystery, inviting you to look again, and then again.

Collectors often tell me they’re drawn to the emotional depth—how the figures feel familiar yet private, how each piece becomes something they return to daily. These paintings aren’t just objects; they create an atmosphere. They anchor a room. They shift how a space feels.

If you’re looking for art that brings quiet intensity, emotional nuance, and a sense of living presence into your home or studio, my work is created for that. It’s art you don’t just view—you experience. And over time, it becomes a defining work within a world-class collection, elevating the environment it inhabits.
