My paintings are based on direct observation, but they’re about more than just capturing a likeness. Through color, light, and form, I try to express what it feels like to be with the subject—how time and presence shape the moment. Many pieces are created entirely from life, aiming to capture the immediacy of the moment.

I share my home with three cats, so it’s only natural that they inspire my work and occasionally become my subjects. In December 2024, a commissioned cat portrait sparked a series of requests, leading me to explore the pastel medium more intentionally.

Atelier Nova is my creative studio reimagining the classical art atelier for a new era. Bridging True Stars and fine art, it blends mythic, celestial symbolism with timeless elegance—guided by the Creator, Magician, and Sage archetypes to inspire both digital and traditional artists.
True Stars' visual identity is rooted in the Magician and Creator archetypes—symbols of transformation, vision, and self-expression. A deep cosmic blue evokes mystery and possibility, while a mosaic of multicolored stars reflects the diverse voices and creative potential within the community, inviting each member to step into their power and shape their own narrative.
The color palette for my personal brand balances refined gold, deep indigo, and soft ivory—evoking timeless elegance and visionary expression. Rooted in fine art and aligned with my celestial creative ecosystem, these tones reflect both discipline and imagination.
For Charleston Bows & Strings, I drew from the Creator, Lover, and Sage archetypes to shape a brand identity that feels artistic, romantic, and masterful. The refined logo, classic typefaces, and rich green palette reflect the brand’s mastery and elegance, while the warm, emotional tone of the imagery and layout appeals to clients seeking beauty and meaning in their most memorable moments.
