My work explores the intimate boundary between the human form and the element of water. Moving between luminous realism and gestural abstraction, capturing the sensory experience of immersion—how light refracts across submerged skin, how movement shatters the surface, and how figure and environment briefly dissolve into one another.

Through rich palettes of teal, deep ocean blues, and warm atmospheric undertones, I use layered paint and expressive mark-making to evoke both the physical clarity and the dreamlike solitude of being in the water. Ultimately, these paintings are an invitation to feel the weightlessness, turbulence, and quiet sanctuary of the sea.
