I am a visual artist whose work lives at the intersection of painting, architecture, and design. My creative practice began in childhood with drawing and painting and has expanded over time into a multidisciplinary life shaped by making, building, and observing the world closely.

Trained as an architect and co-founder of KNK Studios LLC, my understanding of structure, proportion, and space deeply informs my art. Architecture taught me how to see, how to edit, and how to balance intuition with intention. Painting allows me to loosen those rules. It is where emotion leads and logic follows.

My paintings are driven by movement, atmosphere, and feeling rather than strict representation. Through fluid brushwork and layered color, I aim to capture the energy of a place or moment, how it feels rather than how it looks. Much of my work is created outdoors through plein air painting, where light, weather, and the moment become collaborators in the process.

Beyond painting and architecture, I design tools and objects for artists. I am the founder of box N paint LLC, a line of thoughtfully designed plein air painting gear created from my own needs as a working artist. The same design philosophy carries into my exploration of fashion and functional objects, where form, utility, and quiet beauty are always connected.

My approach is grounded in architecture, where function comes first, and energized by painting, where excitement, intuition, and joy live. Thoughtful design brings the two together, making creative life easier, more joyful, and more human.
