The age-old phrase “take a photo, it will last longer” works well, but for me, taking a photo and painting it will make me love it forever.

Native to Los Angeles I attended Beverly Hills High School and Musicians Institute focusing on the entertainment business. I have always thought of myself as a painter even before I had created any paintings, it was a title I always wanted to carry with me.

I began to paint at a young age by copying art from surf magazines and calendars. Until finally, in 2012 I enrolled myself in a local art studio that would allow me to paint 5 hrs a day 5 days a week under the instruction of diverse teachers and workshops. As I progressed and learned the principles of painting I wanted my work to emit more feeling like in the Chiaroscuro and Impressionist style. I then set out to collect all the different landscapes and guidance I could to help me achieve the impressionistic renaissance style I have developed for my art today.

I work both in Plein Air and in the studio focusing on a variety of subjects including portraiture, seascapes and landscapes. My preferred medium is oil on wood panels.
