About the Artist

My relationship with art began not as a plan, but as a question.

In April 2023, I was standing in my apartment, looking at a blank wall behind my dining table; nearly three meters wide, tall, and empty; and wondering what it could become. I didn't know what I wanted yet, only that the space asked for something intentional. That question led me, almost accidentally, to Mason Lee Art Advisory and to a story shared by Katharine Earnhardt that resonated deeply enough for me to reach out.

What began as a simple inquiry turned into a conversation, and then a thoughtful presentation curated by Katharine and her team; one that translated how I had shaped my home into a language of color, scale, and feeling. In that process, I encountered a painting by Ricardo Mazal that stopped me completely. I couldn't afford it, but I couldn't forget it either. I followed his work closely, absorbing not just the paintings themselves, but the patience, repetition, and quiet confidence behind them.

Over the following year, I continued searching for a piece that felt right. I saw many beautiful works, but none that truly settled into the space; or into me. Then, late in 2024, a casual conversation with a friend reframed the question entirely. Somewhere between talking about empty walls and creative restlessness, the idea surfaced: why not paint something ourselves?

I already had a specific work in mind; one of Mazal's linen paintings; not as something to replicate, but as a reference point. His was on linen; I chose canvas. What followed was not an attempt to become an artist overnight, but a quiet entry into the act of making. Painting became a way of understanding space, light, and restraint from the inside rather than the outside.

My work today is rooted in that beginning: painting as response rather than ambition. Each piece is shaped by place, context, and conversation; often created as an anchor for a room, a moment, or a transition. These works are not meant to dominate a space, but to hold it. To live with people. To remain.

This site exists as an extension of that approach: a way to document the stories behind each painting, and to allow them to be encountered slowly, with context and care.
