Drawing on my background in jewelry design, I craft portraits and still lifes that merge meticulous craftsmanship with emotional depth and visual harmony.


Process

My creative journey began in the world of jewelry design, where I learned to see beauty in precision, materials, and the intimate interactions with clients. Working with metal and stone taught me discipline—how a millimeter can change everything—and sparked a fascination with how small details can tell a larger story.

That same attention to craftsmanship now guides my work as a portrait and still life artist. Where I once shaped wearable art, I now explore the human face and everyday objects as vessels of memory, emotion, and meaning. I particularly am focused on light and shadow. Shading provides a realness that evokes emotions.

My portraits seek to capture not only likeness, but presence—the subtle gestures and expressions that reveal an inner world. In still life, I find poetry in ordinary objects, honoring the quiet narratives of light, reflection, and impermanence. Across all mediums, my goal remains the same: to transform materials, moments, and emotions into something enduring, something that feels both carefully made and deeply felt.
