Solo Exhibit Rendezvous with Memories: Reloaded
This exhibit features oil paintings of still life and interior spaces, chronicling personal narratives—moments of cherishing loved ones, navigating dementia, and embracing nostalgia. By portraying familiar objects and intimate spaces, I aim to evoke personal interpretations, drawing viewers into their own memories and emotions. My hope is that these works serve as a catalyst for conversations, encouraging empathy, understanding, and kindness.

Are you an artist just starting out on Instagram—or feeling unsure where to begin?
