Inspired by my life with chronic pain, I am deeply interested in the way art can bring light to the darkest places.
Painting is how I deal with fear, change, and discomfort. Creating helps me understand things and find strength in myself and in what I‘m going through.
My current work draws on the symbolism of fire and candlelight, exploring its duality, the opposites it can represent, and the emotions and memories it can evoke in people.
I’m always searching for something more, for comfort, purpose, and the proof that I am not alone. Going through life in pain has taught me that they are always near. This work is my way of finding them.
