Why I paint

Painting has always been a part of my life. It was instilled in me from an early age, thanks to both my grandmothers. They also painted and always encouraged me to seek out and explore creativity. Their studio was a place of inspiration, where I discovered the magic of paint and canvas.

What began as a shared passion with them has grown into my own unique story. In my work, memories, family, and the emotion of loss converge, often depicted in the expansive skies I paint. It's a way to connect with those who are no longer with us while simultaneously creating a moment of peace and reflection.
