Show Statement:

A Painting is an exploration of light—how it shapes form, reveals color, and defines what we see. I am drawn to moments where light is felt as much as seen: filtering through dense leaves, towering in the crowns of trees, glinting off cresting waves, or softening into the quiet glow of a sunset. Light is everywhere; without it, there is no seeing. Beyond its physical presence, it also carries a deeper resonance as a symbol of hope. In a time of uncertainty, this work seeks to bring light into the image, both visually and metaphorically.
