My work is driven by a deep desire to honor those who came before us, to make sure their stories and legacies are never forgotten. It started as a personal way to connect with the past, a way to bring the people, cultures, and histories that shaped us back into our lives today. Through my paintings, I want to give them a voice again, a presence in the world that lingers.

Watercolor feels like the perfect medium to express this. It’s organic, unpredictable, and full of life - much like the history I want to capture. There’s movement in every brushstroke, and how the paint flows and settles reminds me that history isn’t static. It’s alive, it breathes, and it lingers in the most unexpected ways. My paintings are made to be experienced without glass, on acid-free mineral ground boards, and sealed with UV protection so that you can connect more intimately with the work.

I come from a background in illustration and digital media, which taught me to bring ideas to life quickly. But after years spent staring at a screen, I craved a more tactile, hands-on connection with my art. Watercolor, with its fluidity and its unpredictable nature, felt like the right way to express the tension between the past and present - between memory and reality. It’s a medium that asks for patience and flexibility, and I find that in the process, I can connect with something deeper.

Through my paintings, I hope to keep the memories of those who came before us alive. Each piece is a tribute to their legacy, a reminder that even as time moves forward, their stories are always with us, never forgotten.
