As both an artist and a scientist, I bring a unique perspective to my work, merging curiosity with an appreciation of the natural world. Working primarily in oils, I combine impressionistic and expressionistic techniques to explore themes of resilience, strength, and connection. My process balances traditional methods, such as layering paint to create depth, with the energy of palette knife strokes, resulting in rich textures and vibrant compositions.

Art became my focus after a life-changing injury, turning it from a passion into a source of healing and joy. Much of my inspiration comes from the Pennsylvania countryside, where I find beauty in the interplay of light and color. Whether capturing a stormy sky, a secluded footbridge, or the vibrant hues of autumn, I strive to create paintings that resonate emotionally, inviting viewers to reflect on the meaning found in nature. Through my work, I aim to inspire a deeper appreciation for the resilience and beauty of nature and its power to heal.
