I have been passionate about painting since a young age. At the age of 3, I began learning the basics of painting. I was fortunate enough to receive a traditional academic painting education, which helped me hone my skills and develop my own unique style.

One of my biggest influences as an artist has been French Impressionism. The use of light and color in these paintings has always fascinated me, and I have always been drawn to the loose, expressive brushstrokes. I have spent countless hours studying the works of Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and their influence can be seen in many of my pieces.

Another artist who has left a deep impression on me is John Singer Sargent. His portraits are simply breathtaking, and the way he captures the essence of his subjects is truly inspiring. I have always admired his ability to paint with such precision and detail while still maintaining a sense of spontaneity.

My artistic journey has been a wonderful and fulfilling experience. I am constantly learning and growing as an artist in my studio in California, and I am excited to see where this journey takes me next.
