About

I started drawing and painting roughly 9 years ago. I initially focused on traditional subjects such as portraits and human anatomy. During the Summer of 2020 I spent a considerable time outside gardening and walking through nearby neighborhoods, this ultimately led into my journey of painting nocturnal scenes. I find inspiration from small details such as watching the sunset in between houses, looking for new blooms, that specific blue hue dusk brings, or watching ducks swim. Once it was fully dark I would drive around my hometown of Toledo, Ohio looking for more inspiration. I like challenging myself to find scenes that convey the depth of emotion and contemplation only nighttime can bring. I strive to bring forth a sense of familiarity and comfort to those who view my art. Ultimately, my goal as an artist is to create something anyone can relate to. I hope that when people see my work they can see themselves through the reflections I’ve created and receive reassurance that they are not alone.

The majority of the setting are in my hometown of Toledo, Ohio; other settings I created conceptually.
