Worth Every Step reflects my fascination with the way we build ourselves through experience. The painting moves between structure and disruption—blocks of color, weathered layers, and repeated squares suggest a path that is continually being constructed, interrupted, and redirected.

ABOUT
I’ve always been interested in how life leaves its mark on us. The people we love, the places we’ve been, the things we’ve moved through, and even the small moments we barely notice can become part of who we are. We carry pieces of all of it forward—sometimes knowingly and sometimes without realizing it. That idea is the foundation of my artwork. My paintings begin with my own experiences, but they aren’t meant to tell only my story. I want you to find something of yourself in them—a memory, a person, a place, a feeling, or simply something familiar that you can’t quite explain.
"Structure gives us something to stand on. Disruption gives us somewhere new to go."
