Journal
Alongside the paintings, I keep a record of the ideas, memories, and observations that accompany the work.
Some entries begin in the studio, others in conversation, reading, travel, or everyday life. They are reflections on painting, memory, place, family, and the questions that continue to shape my practice.
I am glad you found your way here.

Something Already There
On the moment before a painting begins — when something is already present, but not yet visible.
