I first started painting with acrylics, creating simple landscapes and seascapes after taking a few small online courses. My background is in web design, which later evolved into full-scale programming and building online systems.
While I’ve always had a strong eye for design and mastered various digital design tools, I eventually decided to try painting—and I absolutely fell in love with the process. It provides a much-needed creative break from coding all day.
My primary medium is oil painting on canvas and panels. With a deep love for surfing and the ocean, I am naturally drawn to painting waves, capturing their movement and energy. I also paint mountains and unique landscapes from my travels across the country. Living in St. Francis Bay, I spend a lot of time plein air painting, embracing the ever-changing light, weather, and natural beauty of the area. I keep my plein air work loose and expressive, enjoying the spontaneity of painting on location.
I am constantly learning, drawing inspiration from master painters wherever I can. I paint because I believe in the importance of creation—art leaves a lasting legacy. Long after I’m gone, I hope that some of my paintings will still be found, appreciated, and perhaps even cherished in an antique market a hundred years from now. More importantly, I paint for the feeling it evokes in others.
A collection of my latest paintings, inspired by the ocean, landscapes,
and ever-changing light. Each piece reflects my journey of
exploring nature, capturing movement, and
experimenting with color and texture.
