About Me
I’m a classical painter whose journey has been shaped by years of mentorship and relentless pursuit of mastery. My painting foundation was built from 2015-2017 under the guidance of Jeremy Caniglia, where I learned the essentials that would anchor my future work. From 2018 to 2021, I had the privilege of studying under Odd Nerdrum, where I dove deep into the world of kitsch painting—a transformative experience that profoundly influenced my approach to painting.
​
My quest for creating timeless masterpieces has taken me across the USA, Sweden, and Norway, each step further refining my craft. Along this journey, I’ve gathered a wealth of knowledge, strategies, and techniques that I’m eager to share with you.
In this course, I’ll be passing on everything I’ve learned—insights, techniques, and practical strategies—so you can rapidly enhance your skills, avoid common pitfalls, and find joy in your painting journey. Together, we’ll navigate the challenges of striving for excellence in a supportive and inspiring community.
