January in Detroit Painting

"As an artist, my practice focuses on capturing the beauty and emotion of the natural world, particularly through the use of subtle colors and keen attention to detail. My passion for painting the world around me stems from my desire to celebrate and preserve the fleeting moments of beauty that exist all around us, especially in unexpected places. Through my work, I am to capture the delicate and ephemeral, as well as the haunting and melancholic. I believe that these feelings hold a certain poetic power that can evoke strong feelings in the viewer, and it is my hope that my paintings will inspire a sense of wonder, contemplation, and appreciation for the subtle beauty we witness just by looking around us. Whether depicting the delicate petals of a flower or the peeling paint of an abandoned house, I strive to create works that are both aesthetically pleasing and emotionally resonant. Overall, my goal as an artist is the create evocative paintings that connect with the viewer on a personal level."
