Artist Statement
"My work is an ongoing exploration of the spaces between—between abstraction and representation, between memory and imagination, between the tangible world we inhabit and the emotional landscapes we navigate."
I am fascinated by the way color, form, and texture can evoke emotional responses that transcend language. Each painting begins as an intuitive process, a conversation between myself and the canvas that evolves organically as layers build upon one another. I often work with multiple pieces simultaneously, allowing them to inform and influence each other.
The natural world serves as both inspiration and metaphor in my practice. I am drawn to moments of transition and transformation—the shifting of seasons, the changing of light throughout transition and transformation—the shifting of seasons, the changing of light throughout the day, the erosion and renewal of landscapes over time. These natural cycles mirror our own internal experiences of growth, loss, and regeneration.
Ultimately, I create spaces for contemplation and connection. My hope is that viewers find something of themselves reflected in these works—a familiar feeling, a forgotten memory, or perhaps a new perspective on their own relationship with the world around them.
