I love to paint spaces. Not grand landscapes or dramatic scenes, but rooms, table settings, corners, the quiet architecture of ordinary life. I am drawn to the way things sit after people have moved through them. A chair slightly turned. Light draping across tile and chair beams.

When you look at a space like that, you begin to imagine what happened there. The moments just before and the ones just after. Who was sitting where and what was said. I am interested in how a room can hold comfort or tension.There is a kind of storytelling in arrangement and painting these spaces feels like slowing down enough to notice that story. For a moment, you belong to it, and it belongs to you.

These paintings are not separate from my design work. They are quieter, maybe more patient, but they come from the same place. Paying attention and noticing how people gather. Wondering what lingers after they leave.
