I am a realism painter dedicated to capturing the beauty and depth of life through paint. I work from life, painting portraits, still lifes, landscapes and figures that explore how light and atmosphere reveal emotion.

I studied at the Florence Academy of Art, where I learned traditional drawing and painting methods that guide my work. That experience taught me the value of patience, craft, and really seeing what’s in front of me.

When painting I use oil paint, and I draw in graphite, charcoal and chalk.

Now early in my career, I am continuing to build a body of work rooted in observation — paintings that capture quiet presence and invite viewers to slow down for a moment.
