I’m an abstract contemporary painter aspiring to capture the beauty of nature and my dreams on canvas, offering a visual escape into a place filled with imagination and possibility. I paint scenes of places I would like to sit and stay a while. One consistent feature in my paintings is a sense of calm, even in the stormscapes.
