Artist Statement
My studio practice offers both structure and release. approaching painting as both a receptive and generative process. Through intuitive layering, I explore ideas that emerge from conscious intention as well as instinct.
Blending organic and mythic forms, my work draws from nature as a source of clarity and restoration. The paintings navigate the space between struggle and fantasy; the imagery may appear soft, but it has teeth. Each piece evolves through cycles of addition and reduction, balancing spontaneous mark-making with deliberate color choices until a sense of resolution emerges. The finished work is inseparable from the process that uncovers it, with both carrying equal importance in the evolution of the piece.
