Seeing a painting online is one thing. Standing in front of it is something else entirely.

I’ll be exhibiting 23 original oil paintings in this group show, alongside four other artists. This is an opportunity to experience the work as it’s meant to be seen - the scale, the brushwork, the light, and the quiet details that simply don’t translate through a screen.

If you’ve ever wondered how a painting might feel in your own space, this is the moment to find out.
Come explore the work in person, spend time with the stories behind it, and connect with the pieces that speak to you.
