My work explores the possibilities of abstract visual language using a process-based painting approach.
I build up layers of color in an improvisational flow. Each piece becomes a site for gestures, impressions, residues, and excavations. I try to find ways to introduce material serendipity in the work through a choreographed collaboration with chance.
Using industrial tools, I record the body in motion while disguising the hand. Marks are processed and manipulated. I hope to communicate a sense of memory and the passage of time through a transient image.
My work proposes the illusion of space while asserting its physicality in real space. Reflective and color-shifting pigments create surfaces that transform. I’m interested in how seeing might become almost tactile, vision crossing over into touch.
My paintings draw from the beauty of daily aesthetic experience. New York City’s gritty urban surfaces and less-traveled landscapes provide an endless source of inspiration. I’m also fascinated by the quiet power of weather systems, atmospheric effects, and geological phenomena.
Abstraction, rather than “meaning” something, celebrates the process of meaning-making itself. The abstract invites associative, sensorial dialogue and opens up new pathways of thought and interpretation, asking us to slow down and become present in time.
