Practice
I am a Los Angeles–based artist and painter whose work explores the relationship between the visible and spiritual worlds through painting as prayer and a sustained study of light. I hold degrees in Communications and Painting from the University of Southern California. My work has been featured on the cover of the Los Angeles Times and in Vogue, and I have exhibited in gallery shows in both New York and Los Angeles. I am an artist for Brentwood Presbyterian Church, where I create large-scale liturgical artworks and community installations that shape worship, mark sacred time, and invite collective reflection. My studio practice grows from this same devotional discipline, producing paintings that cultivate stillness, attentiveness, and the experience of presence within the visible and spiritual world.
I see painting as a form of prayer, a practice of attention, stillness, and presence. Through color and texture, I search for what exists beneath the surface of things, the quiet movement that holds the visible world together. Each piece begins as an act of observation and becomes a dialogue between material and spirit.
Light guides everything I make. It is both subject and teacher, revealing and obscuring with the same gesture. To paint light is to practice humility, to search for what cannot be owned or contained. “In lumine tuo videbimus lumen.” – In your light, we see light.
