Oregon Sunrise Painting

I grew up in an artistic family, surrounded by nature. My mother taught me watercolors, and showed me how painting inspires and restores the spirit. I want to share this transformation- this renewed sense of connection. I express this both in realist nature scenes, and in symbolic abstractions of the figure, imagining a world revealing an underlying essence. I aim to suggest both the reality and the hidden energy of things, to see nature in new ways, as if for the first time.
