Artist Statement
My work begins where thought ends—an instinctive response to color, texture, and movement. I paint without a roadmap, letting each piece unfold through a conversation between addition and removal, presence and absence. This intuitive process allows me to bypass what I know and reach toward something more felt than understood.
Free from inherited systems and academic constraints, I trust the rhythm of the work itself to guide me. Layers accumulate, are scraped away, painted over, or left exposed. These shifting surfaces become records of feeling, decision, doubt, clarity, and contradiction.
We often present polished versions of ourselves to the world—composed, contained, edited. But what lies beneath always makes itself known. In my paintings, the tension between surface and depth reflects this quiet reveal: the way truths leak through the cracks, not in grand declarations, but in slivers and textures, fragments and stains.
