About My Work
I paint intuitively, allowing each work to become what it needs to be. I may begin with a color, a feeling, a movement, or an intention, but I rarely know where a painting will lead. I listen and respond as the work takes form.
My paintings explore connection, creation, and spirituality through color, movement, and emerging form. Layers build and recede, forms appear and dissolve, and passages of color create depth and movement. The painting gradually reveals its own direction. For me, the process is less about controlling an outcome and more about being present to what is unfolding.
I believe art creates space for encounter. What I experience while making a painting is only part of its story. Once it leaves my hands, the viewer brings something of their own to it. My hope is not to tell you what to see, but to create an opening for connection, reflection, and whatever the work might awaken in you.
