Tiff

I love when color does more than decorate a portrait — when it sharpens the personality of the subject and gives the whole painting a pulse. The red shirt, the patterned background, and the direct gaze all work together to make this one feel alive and self-possessed.

I am interested in the space between realism and interpretation, where texture, light, and atmosphere reveal something deeper than surface detail. Whether painting people, objects, or scenes from daily life, I want each piece to feel intimate, thoughtful, and alive.
