After more than 25 years as a graphic designer, I embarked on a new journey to uncover who I am as a painter. I decided to dive in—paint what I feel and what I find interesting. Experimentation is critical to the process while looking for what resonates. Moments emerge when a small detail or corner captures my attention, sparking a desire to explore it further. Other times, I step back, pause, and return later with fresh eyes and mindset.

For me, this process is about learning, enjoying every discovery, and wondering where it will lead. My design experience informs my work—guiding my instincts in color and composition—while my love of architecture subtly, or not so subtly, seeps into my pieces. But above all, I create from memory, instinct, and emotion.

What drives me is the balance between thoughtful design principles and raw intuition, blending both to reach a finished work. I hope my journey as a painter is a long one filled with layered discoveries and pieces that express my inner world.
