About
I create figurative and portrait paintings in oil and mixed media.My focus is on people - predominantly women. I love capturing the presence behind the surface.Exactly as it is in that moment.What interests me is tension beneath. Strength without display. Vulnerability without exposure.My paintings are quiet. They invite you to stay.
