Artist Statement

My work is shaped by curiosity—about place, transformation, and the way visual language quietly influences how we experience a space. I am drawn to moments of transition, where form, color, and feeling meet, and something new begins to emerge.

Each painting unfolds through an intuitive process. I begin with simple marks and layers, allowing the work to develop gradually rather than forcing an outcome. There is a natural rhythm to this way of working—periods of ease, moments of uncertainty, and eventual clarity. I pay close attention to what the painting is asking for, responding through color, texture, and movement.

My surroundings play an essential role in this process. Travel, landscape, and time spent in nature often find their way into the work, particularly through botanical forms and vibrant color. These elements are not intended to describe a specific place, but to evoke a sense of presence and aliveness that viewers can feel rather than analyze.

I am interested in how art functions within shared environments. In hospitality settings especially, a painting becomes part of the guest’s experience—something encountered in passing, returned to, or quietly absorbed. My intention is to create work that supports reflection and ease, offering a visual pause within the larger rhythm of a space.

Ultimately, my paintings are an invitation. They are meant to be lived with, interpreted freely, and experienced over time—meeting each viewer where they are and allowing meaning to unfold naturally.
