STATEMENT

My art engages with the fugitive dance between consciousness and the physical world. Recent works are centered on the concept of channels—the physical and psychological vessels of transference between matter, people, places, and timelines.

While rooted in painting, my practice has always been mixed media and the works are often built as much as they are rendered. The constant evolution of ways for me to relate to material and consider surface is equally important to the image.

Source material often emerges through a stream of consciousness scrolling technique on paper or cheesecloth, then merges with found materials and studio remnants. I employ a sculptural approach in tandem with surrealist and expressionist strategies such as automatic painting, action painting, cut-ups, assemblage.







Components are layered, eroded, folded, and reconstituted over time, allowing the work to evolve in dialogue with its environment. The canvas is treated more as a malleable fabric rather than a pristine flat plane. Natural phenomena—wind, light, shadow, sound, smell—become active collaborators, shaping the piece as its story unfolds.

The interplay between internal and external realities is central to my process. Acts of quick capture—like painting a passing shadow directly onto the surface, or pressing an object into wet ground serve as direct transfers of time and place. As these impressions accumulate and are edited in the act of creating, they form layered abstractions that invite viewers into a kind of visual game of telephone.

Painting can be a pursuit of an unknowable force that is always just beyond reach, yet deeply felt. I’m fascinated by how communication, ideas, and emotions are continually altered in transmission. Within this space of searching, captured moments become a portals—revealing perceptual slippages and emphasizing the elastic, transformative nature of painting itself.
