The comfort I find in art is the comfort I wish to give to the world. Producing art work which bring people together and transforms our hardships into something special and personal.
My Principles
1. Paintings and Life
I believe art has the power to unite people—bridging differences and creating a shared space for empathy, understanding, and belonging. In both art and life, mistakes and imperfections are inevitable. They shouldn’t be erased or hidden, but celebrated as proof of growth and resilience. We are connected by the fact that we all make mistakes, and there’s beauty in that shared humanity. I think of life like creating a painting: childhood is the sketch, adolescence the underpainting, your 20s the first layers of colour, and the rest of your years the finer details. You can’t judge a work in progress—whether it’s a painting or a life—because the beauty of the final piece comes from the process itself.
2. Beauty From Hardship
I transform life’s struggles into something beautiful, using art to turn pain into resilience and hope. Losing my father, navigating trauma, and facing the challenges of childhood and life have not been easy—but art has been my way of reframing these experiences, finding beauty within the hardship, and creating something meaningful from it.
3. Painting For Others
Art is my refuge, and I want it to be a refuge for others—a place where they can feel seen, soothed, and understood. I may not do this through teaching or medicine, but through my creativity, my art, and my love for psychology and deep thinking. My goal is to create work that brings comfort and offers the reassurance that life will be okay. I want my art to carry meaning and life lessons—something that connects with those who can’t afford to buy it, while also deeply resonating with those who can bring one of my pieces into their home. One day, I hope to offer a process that feels almost like a therapy session: listening to people’s stories, distilling advice and emotion, and then creating a commissioned piece that reflects their personal journey.
