Artist Statement

“Connection is healing, grounding and essential to our ability to function and thrive. Through these paintings, I explore an individual’s connection to the world—through travel, inner focus and meditation, and the quiet power of sentimental objects. Each piece reflects the small, meaningful details that quietly hold us all together.”
