I am realist painter whose work explores the quiet tension between light, structure, and stillness. Working primarily in watercolor and oil, his compositions blend classical technique with a contemporary sensitivity to atmosphere — where illumination itself becomes the subject. Each brushstroke reflects an analytical precision rooted in in my background in philosophy and theology, yet tempered by the emotional restraint and reverence of traditional craftsmanship.

Educated in analytical philosophy, history, theology, and classical languages, I try to bring an uncommon depth of thought to visual art. My hope is that my paintings reveal a disciplined pursuit of truth in form and a deep respect for the optical laws that govern perception — a lineage that connects him to masters of realism across centuries.

I have studied under watercolorist Lauren McCracken, whose mentorship helped refine my command of tonal control, glazing, and compositional silence. From this foundation, I developed a signature style defined by luminous edges, patient layering, and the subtle dialogue between transparency and opacity. His subjects — often still lifes and natural scenes — emerge as meditations on transience and permanence, grounded in structure yet alive with the breath of light.

Outside of painting, I am also an astrophotographer, capturing the geometry and grandeur of the night sky. The same fascination with light that guides my brush also draws me to the celestial — a study of order, mystery, and radiance that informs his artistic vision on every scale.

Through my art and writing on Light-Sculpture.com, I continue to explore the intersection of observation, craft, and metaphysics — teaching others to see the world not merely as it appears, but as it truly is when illuminated by patience, discipline, and wonder.
