I enjoy hand stretching my own canvases,to me stretching the canvas is just as important as the painting itself,they both need equal love.I like to use heavy lines and vibrant colors to bring my creations to life.My work is heavily influenced by music,movies and love.I am self taught and have been painting for 13 years.

“Saudade” 2013

New acrylic on canvas piece entitled “Saudade”

“Saudade”:A Portuguese and Galician word that has no direct translation in English. It describes a deep emotional state of nostalgic or deeply melancholic longing for an absent something or someone that one loves. Moreover, it often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing will never return.

Back To Canvas!

Back To Canvas!

After a year and a half I am excited to announce that I will be moving back to canvas! Digital pieces just weren’t cutting it for me, I miss the feel of real paint,stretching my own canvas and working on a big scale.
