Peace grows where balance exists — that idea sits at the core of my work. In both life and art, I recognize how opposites are always present together: light and dark, calm and chaos, clarity and confusion, the beautiful and the messy.  Instead of trying to resolve or separate them, I’m learning to let them coexist, and my paintings speak to that growing acceptance.

When I paint, I’m exploring emotional balance as much as visual balance. I’m interested in artwork that can feel both peaceful and moody, or gentle but still deep.  My work often feels grounded in my own human experiences of loss, joy, and loneliness — the stuff of life.

My hope is that the paintings offer a sense of calm and honesty — a place where viewers can slow down, breathe for a moment, and recognize something familiar.
