Lawyer by day, artist by night - I do vibrant pieces incorporating nature, technology, and whatever comes out of my brain. You may remember me as the one who begins my paintings using my hands - I see Art Battles as a fun challenge and I enjoy trying out new ways to make your night fun when you come to watch us in action.

I am a portrait artist who finds inspiration in the stories written on people’s faces. My artistic style combines oil and watercolor, with watercolor being especially powerful for me in capturing delicate details and expressive moods in portraits. I love experimenting with different approaches—whether it’s the limited Zorn palette, plein air painting, or tonalism—each adding new depth to how I explore light, color, and emotion. What drives me most is connection: the ability of art to bridge cultures, spark conversations, and share the resilience and beauty of the human spirit.
