I create acrylic paintings and browser-based games that feel cozy, atmospheric, and a little strange.

Paintings

Acrylic paintings, real-life, paint-on-canvas kind

I paint landscapes and scenes inspired by nature, memory, and imagined places — trees, paths, water, weather, and old buildings with the lights on. I like settings that feel peaceful but not empty… like someone just stepped out of frame.

Most pieces are acrylic on canvas, with a focus on color, light, and mood over strict realism. If it feels like a place you could breathe in, I’m probably onto something.

Things I tend to paint:

  • ✦ Landscapes and natural spaces
  • ✦ Soft light, seasons, and weather
  • ✦ Places that feel familiar even if you’ve never been there

* Some pieces may be available for purchase. If something grabs you, email me and tell me which one — I’ll let you know what’s up.

Games & Interactive

My games are small worlds with texture: cozy systems, quiet storytelling, and little moments that feel oddly personal. They’re made to be played in your browser — no downloads, no fuss. If you like mood-first experiences, you’re in the right place.

Tip: if you’re new here, start with Root Record for cozy utility, or Flutterjar for tiny ecosystem vibes.

About Me

I like working across mediums because they scratch different creative itches. Painting lets me slow down and focus on atmosphere, color, and light. Games let me build systems, tell stories sideways, and make spaces people can actually step into.

No matter the format, I’m usually trying to make something that feels thoughtful, intentional, and a little comforting — even when it’s weird.

If you’re looking for cozy art, indie games, or interactive projects with mood (and a bit of mystery), you can browse paintings or jump into games & interactive.
