I am a Minnesota-based portrait artist specializing in large format oil-on-canvas. My work focuses on women and explores perceptions of beauty and the power of sexuality. My female subjects project strength and agency in equal measure, eyes open and alert, challenging the observer to meet their unflinching gaze. My portraiture is further characterized by their incorporation of the surreal. As I have explained “I’ve always had vivid dreams that stay with me long after I awake. These dreams are both an inspiration and a reminder that ‘reality’ is much more malleable than it appears.” I began painting as a child, and fell in love with oil at an early age. “I consider it the noblest medium” I started painting professionally at 23, and has since created a vast portfolio of commissioned pieces, wall murals and gold leaf Restoration. I describe my work: “My heart relates to my subject as one human being to another. I am painting their thoughts and their emotions as waves of color and light.”
