Each original painting starts with a feeling. Through my signature big eyes style, I’m always trying to capture more than just a likeness. I want to bring out the emotion, the memory, the personality, and that spark that makes someone or something unforgettable.

I’m drawn to painting icons, faces, and moments that bring joy, nostalgia, and connection — the kind of pieces that make you smile, remind you of something meaningful, and make you feel something each time you look at them.

Every painting is created in my Toronto studio using professional-grade acrylic paint on canvas. Each one has its own energy, and no two are ever the same. Once an original finds its home, it is never recreated.

If a painting speaks to you, I’d love to hear from you. I personally respond to every inquiry, and the process is always personal, warm, and unhurried.
