My work is drawn to the places where light feels hidden – places marked by ache, quiet questions, or things unsaid. I tend to linger there, not out of despair, but because I believe beauty and hope can penetrate the dark and change everything.
"It only takes a single photon of light to pierce utter darkness – just one. In a world that can seem to grow dimmer, I paint to reveal, not manufacture, that quiet, unrelenting presence of light – a real hope grounded in truth."
