Artist Statement

In my practice, I respond to our interconnectedness through the act of painting. My imagery develops through intuitive actions and interpretations of observations drawn from daily life. My studio practice is contemplative, providing form for my petitions, vigils, joy, and gratitude. The process is an act of discovery, and the result is an accumulation of mark, memory, and symbolism.

Creating in this way, painting becomes a meditative act, grounded in the practice of mindfulness. My compositions are a call and response between states of disruption and integration. I intentionally detach from previous studio sessions, working on each layer as a new beginning, to create a mindful aesthetic that reflects our impermanence.
