Keeper of the Night Painting

I have been obsessed with the creative process since I was a small child. My imagination runs wild with scenes from movies and books never made nor written. I try to capture these pictorial thoughts in a way that is both relatable and fantastic. I use figurative painting to invite the viewer to enter this unique world or moment. I love duality and opposition, balance over symmetry, and the idea of shared energy. Spending hundreds of hours on a single piece, painting everything by hand with traditional techniques, I obsessively render my subjects, caught in moments when they are open and expressive. Through my chosen genre, Magical Realism, I fuse reality with imagination to create a visceral new “world” for the subject to dwell in and the viewer to observe and interpret.
