I paint memories of light in the landscape, using beeswax, fire, and pigment to capture fleeting moments of beauty. My work is about more than just the physical world—it is an exploration of hope, a search of light within the horizon and within ourselves. Through the framework of landscape, I paint expressively, allowing intuition and emotion to shape each piece.

I am drawn to the contrasts of light and dark, the tension between the seen and unseen. What is illuminated? What remains hidden beneath the surface? These are the questions that guide my practice. Working with encaustic—a medium that requires both control and surrender—I build up soft, luminous layers of melted beeswax and pigment, fusing them with fire before carving, smoothing, and melting again. This process of revealing and obscuring mirrors the way we experience memory, emotion, and time.

Each painting is a meditation, a sensory experience that invites touch, smell, and sight. The natural fragrance of beeswax, the warmth of the torch, the movement of color across the panel—all of it draws me deeper into the moment, into the physical act of creation. In this space, I find connection. To place. To memory. To something greater than myself.

Ultimately, my intention is to offer a sense of solace and wonder. A reminder that even in moments of uncertainty, there is always light breaking through.
