BIOGRAPHY
I am a native Houstonian, and my passion is painting. I have been painting since I was a young child. I am self-taught and I work primarily in acrylic and oil paints.
My portfolio consists of the following: Landscapes, Portraits (single or group), Pets, Commissioned Art, Surrealism, and Imagination. Out of all my work, my all-time favorite genre is Landscapes! Landscapes allows me to escape to a peaceful place filled with natures’ beauty and let my creative juices flow.
My primary purpose and goals in my work are to share with you the same joy that I get from painting, bring you peace of mind just by looking at the rich details in my landscapes and art, to help your imagination run free, and to share the beauty of my original art.
ARTIST STATEMENT
I started my artistic journey early in life and developed a deep-rooted passion for painting that has only intensified over the years. I am inspired by a profound sense of divinity. My artistic process is a daily ritual, which is as essential and natural as breathing. My work is a celebration of my passion for music, animals, and nature’s beauty. My passion is brought to life with acrylic paints on the durable, earthy surface of wood. My choice of wood as a canvas, reflects my connection to the natural world, grounding my art in an organic medium that enriches my colors and textures. Royal purple is my signature hue, which frequently punctuates my pieces, embodying both elegance and spiritual depth.
I pour my love of creation into each brushstroke, intending not only to beautify, but to offer viewers a sense of joy and peace as only nature and animals can bring. My work is a harmonious blend of my passions, where painting and music intertwine on canvas. My love for playing the guitar often resonates within my pieces, bringing a rhythm and flow that speaks to the soul. Each piece reflects not only my connection to nature and spirituality, but also to the melody of my musical expression. It is my desire to take my blend of visual and musical artistry and create a captivating experience, inviting viewers into a space of joy, tranquility, and beauty.
