As an artist, I’ve always been fascinated how spaces hold memories — the kind of subtle, yet significant moments that happen in rooms or at tables, often overlooked at the time but fondly remembered after the event.

Each piece I create is about distilling the feelings that arise from a particular setting: the soft glow of a lamp, the arrangement of a table that invited laughter and conversation, the way light pours in through a window at the perfect time of day. It’s about what made that moment special — removing the noise and capturing the details that linger in your mind long after you've left the room.

The problem with a photograph is that it captures everything that is visible, an exit sign or strangers in the background, but my paintings capture what’s felt, what’s intangible. It’s a way of holding onto the joy and comfort of a moment, preserving it in a way that feels more intimate and personal than any snapshot could.

My art explores how different settings can evoke different emotions — a quiet corner of a hotel lobby, the elegance of a well-set dinner table, or the coziness of a guest room at dusk. These pieces won’t just be representations of places; they’ll be an invitation to relive the atmosphere and feeling of those spaces.

So, instead of snapping a quick photo on a phone, what if guests could take a moment to appreciate the beauty of a space through art, and share that moment with someone else? Imagine a guest sending a postcard of the cozy, candle-lit dinner table where they had eaten the night before or the chair with the beautifully patterned cushion where they sat to look at the view from their hotel room, just letting a friend know, “This is what made my time here unforgettable.” It’s a beautiful way to slow down, appreciate the small details, and reconnect with the experience in a more tactile, heartfelt way.

By turning these memories into postcards or small prints, I hope to bring a sense of nostalgia back into how we share experiences. In an increasingly digital world, there’s something refreshing about sending or receiving a physical piece of art — one that captures not just a place, but the feeling of being there. It’s about creating connections that feel real, genuine, and full of emotion.

It’s a return to a simpler, more thoughtful way of communicating — one where a memory, captured in art, becomes more than just a fleeting image on a screen. It becomes a story that someone else can hold in their hands and share. And in that, we find a deeper kind of connection.
