My paintings are a way for me to acknowledge and cherish the subtle, transitory nature of everyday life. I am particularly drawn to the simple yet meaningful experiences that I share with friends and loved ones. Imbued with a warm sense of nostalgia, humor, and childlike curiosity, I find these experiences quietly enchanting and awe-inspiring; they persist in my memory and are reborn while I look over old pictures or catch up with a friend.

In each painting, I depict a singular moment within the larger narrative of these experiences. Using egg tempera paint I can quickly and playfully add or retract elements as I determine how to translate the intimacy of these moments to an observer, while staying true to the lighthearted nature of the inspiration.
