Capturing fleeting beauty inspires my on-location work. Acrylics, with their quick drying time and incredible versatility, allow me to paint en plein air, whether I'm building thick textures or layering thin glazes. My representational paintings weave narratives, sometimes explicit, sometimes subtle, often featuring figures thanks to my life drawing background. Meticulously crafted color palettes and a focus on light and shadow, whether high contrast or dappled, ensure each piece reflects the mood and essence of the moment.
