About me
I create unapologetically bold and emotionally-charged abstract paintings.
I paint as a way to bring out subconscious feelings — often revealing more than I knew I was carrying. My work is intuitive and expressive, built through layers of color, texture, and mark-making. It’s not about creating a perfect image, but about uncovering something honest and raw.
I want people to feel my paintings more than just look at them. To connect with a mood, an experience, or a deep feeling. There’s always a tension in my work — between chaos and calm, between control and letting go, knowing that underneath it all is resilience and resolve to deal with what comes my way. I’m often trying to quiet the noise, but I’ve come to see that the struggle and turmoil as an integral part of the story.
Nature is my biggest inspiration. When I slow down and pay attention to the natural world —the way things grow, shift, and interact — it opens something in me. It reminds me that beauty is often messy, layered, and not always easy to explain. I hope my paintings feel the same way: I want my paintings to reveal more the longer you look, inviting you to notice details and shifts you might have missed at first.
Color, gesture, and layering are my tools for translating emotion into form. I work primarily in acrylic, often intuitively, allowing the painting to guide me as much as I guide it. Marks are made, obscured, and remade and often echo elements of nature — tangled lines, soft edges, open space — because I see us as part of it, not separate from it. Painting, for me, is a way to express my own individuality while also exploring that deep connection — to the earth, to others, and to something larger than myself.
