I’m a painter whose work captures the quiet, fleeting beauty of everyday life. Through skies that stretch endlessly, tiny houses that offer shelter, blooms that symbolize resilience, and even desserts that hold both comfort and nostalgia, I create art that feels at once intimate and universal.

My journey with grief after losing my father deeply shapes my practice. Painting became a way of holding memory and finding light within heaviness. Each piece is my reminder that beauty and sweetness can exist even alongside longing.

 I work in acrylic, coloured pencil, and mixed media, building each painting with layers of colour and emotion. My art has found homes with collectors who connect not only to the imagery, but also to the quiet honesty woven into each work.

 Today, my online gallery is both a place of reflection and of joy — a space where you can pause, feel, and maybe even savour life the way you would a favourite dessert: slowly, and with gratitude.

WHY I CREATE

I paint to hold onto fleeting moments.

The quiet of a home under a wide sky. The resilience of a bloom that refuses to wither. The bittersweet comfort of dessert shared—or sometimes, eaten alone.

My journey with grief after losing my father shapes much of my work. Painting became a way of piecing myself back together, turning memory and solitude into something gentle, human, and alive.

 I want my art to feel like comfort food for the soul: something you can return to when life feels heavy, something that reminds you that sweetness can exist alongside longing.
