Artist's Statement:

Art and animals have been enduring passions of mine since childhood, and in 2021 I felt compelled to pursue art professionally. I work primarily in oil, focusing on wildlife and pet portraits. I love composing tightly cropped portraits that feel like I have interrupted the subject’s movement, aiming to convey a deep emotional connection through the animal’s eyes as if we are tethered together for a moment in a shared experience.
