About

​My artistic practice is deeply rooted in the exploration of oil painting as a powerful medium for conveying complex emotions, experiences, and ideas that define American culture. By primarily focusing on the human figure, I strive to create artwork that not only inspires and informs but also ignites meaningful dialogues that challenge societal norms. 

While my work is figurative, representational, and narrative, it also incorporates elements of modern art. The ever-evolving landscape of technology has enriched my creative process. These changes have allowed innovation to take root and flourish in my artistic endeavors. 

Through my paintings, I seek to reflect and celebrate the rich tapestry of lifestyle, heritage, and experiences that are often overlooked or underrepresented in traditional art spaces. By shining a spotlight on the often sparsely exhibited aspects of American culture, I aim to challenge preconceived notions and broaden perspectives. 

Each brushstroke, color choice, and composition are carefully considered to evoke a visceral response from the viewer. Art has the power to transcend language, culture, and societal boundaries. I intend to create a body of work that not only captivates and stimulates the senses but also fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation of the multifaceted nature of American society. 

My artistic practice seeks to bridge the gap between traditional and contemporary, the familiar and the universal. By pushing the boundaries of oil painting and embracing the ever-changing landscape of American culture, I strive to leave a lasting impact on both the art world and society.
