Painting is a moment where I feel like the world stops and my soul feels a connection.

The first thing I notice about someone is their expression. When Teisher put her hand above her heart, I tried to capture that look and the feeling in the work. Here I am discussing this painting with Nicole.

I am sitting here with my puppy, who is always part of my creative process. He brings joy to every moment!

The creative energy that flows between models and myself is poetic.
It's important to understand and connect with the model's unique energy.
My goal is to capture and showcase their higher self; they are art.

Colors carry what words could not.

My model Nicole brings a quiet strength and lightness — her energy moves easily, and it shows up vividly on the canvas.

I've been drawing more lately, and I realize how much I love it.

A hand itself has an emotional expression. It is not only the facial expression, but the collective expression of all parts that leave an emotional impression.
