Born and raised in a small coastal town, this artist emerged from a background steeped in craft and curiosity. Their work weaves a careful balance between observation and imagination, drawing on everyday scenes, distant memories, and quiet moments of stillness. Known for a disciplined studio practice, they experiment with texture, color, and light to create pieces that invite reflection without dictating interpretation.
