Artist Statement
My work explores transformation and the liminal space between what is being shed and what is becoming. I am drawn to moments of transition—states where movement, release, and emergence coexist.
I work intuitively, allowing process to guide each piece rather than beginning with a fixed narrative. Line, texture, and color are used intentionally to depict energy—how it moves through the body, the space, and the surface of the painting itself. Bold color palettes and expressive palette-knife techniques create layered, dynamic surfaces that emphasize motion, tension, and flow.
The human figure appears in my work as a vessel of experience rather than an object of representation. Gestures such as walking, turning, or releasing fabric suggest thresholds and internal shifts. In abstraction, these same ideas are explored through movement, mark-making, and form, allowing energy and emotion to emerge without constraint.
Influenced by classical figurative foundations and contemporary abstraction, my practice exists at the intersection of structure and surrender. Rather than offering answers, my work invites presence—creating space for viewers to connect with the work through their own lived experience.
