“I draw quiet things that speak loudly.”
On the East End of Long Island, beneath moonlight and brushstrokes, I conjure still life with a soul.
I began with watercolor in 2024, but quickly felt the pull of oil, pastel, and colored pencil - mediums that allow me to explore the luminous tension between beauty and mystery. My work often centers around botanicals and quiet objects, rendered with reverence, emotion, and a hint of spellcraft. Each piece tells a story. Some whisper. Some bloom. Some watch.
I am a poet, a singer, a writer and a believer in the sacred art of making. My art is not only what I see - it’s what I feel, what I’ve lived, and what I’ve dreamed. Through layered texture and deep shadow, I try to unearth meaning from mundane, and cast light on the forgotten corners of our inner worlds.
Welcome to my studio - a place where fruit holds secrets, flowers remember their past lives, and paper becomes a portal.
