I am a self-taught oil painter, endlessly inspired by the beautiful and magical solitude of nature. My work is deeply influenced by the breathtaking natural world around us. Whether wandering through wooded mountain paths, driving along pastoral landscapes or coastal waters, I find endless inspiration in the quiet beauty of forests and farming communities. These journeys through untamed wilderness and cultivated countryside shape my creative vision and ground my artistic perspective. I strive to create works that invite viewers to experience both the physical grandeur of our natural world and its capacity to reflect our inner and deeper emotional resonance and connection - the way a stormy ocean speaks to our inner turbulence, or how a serene misty meadow of trees mirrors moments of peace and solitude. Each brushstroke is deliberately placed to honor nature's authenticity while revealing the feelings these scenes evoke.
