My work investigates the possibilities of abstract visual language using a process-based painting approach that privileges discovery over predetermined outcomes.

Working primarily in acrylic on wood panel and heavyweight paper, I create layered compositions that emerge through improvisation, repetition, and chance. Each piece becomes a site for gesture, erasure, residue, accumulation, excavation, and transformation.

I rely on a range of studio techniques such as pouring, blotting, and spraying, and utilize non-traditional industrial tools to push paint to its material limits, letting it guide my formal decisions. Through sustained painterly inquiry and an emphasis on transient imagery, I hope to communicate a sense of movement, memory, and the passage of time.

My work proposes the illusion of space while asserting its physicality in real space. Reflective and color-shifting pigments yield surfaces that change when viewed from different angles and distances. I’m interested in how seeing might become almost tactile, vision crossing over into touch.

My paintings are informed by the daily aesthetic experience of being in a body and mind, and draw on complex microscopic and macroscopic visual worlds such as cellular structures, geological formations, weather systems, and cosmic phenomena.

Abstraction, rather than “meaning” something, celebrates the process of meaning-making itself. The abstract invites an associative, sensorial dialogue and opens up new pathways of thought and interpretation. In a world flooded with fleeting images all vying for our attention, I am committed to slow looking and the physical intimacy of painting as both object and experience.
