About

My portraits of birds, wildlife, and women explore beauty, resilience, and the luminous bond between humanity and the natural world. Copper, both in its radiant leaf and its transformative patina, is central to my process and meaning—it acts as a conduit, a bridge between realms, grounding my subjects in both earthly and ethereal light. Through the unpredictability of patina, I embrace imperfection and transformation, allowing organic patterns and colors to become part of the narrative. My work invites viewers to pause, reflect, and connect with the strength and quiet grace found in nature and within themselves.
