Every piece begins with the frame. I build each one by hand, treating it not as an afterthought but as an extension of the painting itself—the boundary and the artwork become one continuous idea. Canvas panels are mounted directly onto these custom frames, and I work into them with acrylic paints layered alongside oil crayons, letting texture and color build up in unexpected ways. Each piece is finished with a coat of art resin, which deepens the colors, adds a glassy dimension, and protects the work for years to come.
