“For my entire life, I have found comfort in making art. Creating has been my life’s most rewarding, therapeutic, and sustaining activity. My work is based on the formality and structure I learned as an architect, allowing me to bring a unique perspective. I find comfort in the simplicity and beauty of the line, and my work often focuses on clean, precise compositions that explore the subtle variations of color and texture within a minimalist framework. Through my art, I hope to create spaces of tranquility and beauty that provide comfort and solace to those who view it.”
