My work aims to achieve a warm, inviting aura through the use of subjects and atmosphere. Whether it be traditional decor or people around the world reenacting casual life, I try my best to translate said still images with personality; my focus is always a welcoming scene. I play with these portrayals using a variety of texture and style to bring the overall piece together—rough globs and smooth strokes, among others.

Using all of these techniques, I hope to provide the viewer with—in a sense—nostalgia, and to showcase open-ended moments that leave them with lingering musings of the scenes and their aftermaths.
