STATEMENT

I am at home in longing. For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to pull back the veils to find answers. I’m always searching for what lies just beneath the surface or just beyond my reach. My painting practice reflects this search—each piece is a pursuit of something that resonates, tells a story, or reveals a truth.

My process is a constant push and pull—allowing what wants to emerge, working with what appears, and letting go of what doesn’t belong. Like stirring a dark pond, I wait to see what rises, what calls for my attention, and what fades away. Each painting leads me to dig for something just out of reach while coaxing the unfamiliar forward.

I turn to nature as my visual language—layered, ever-changing, and complex, much like life itself. I consider my work expressionistic, blending gestural brushstrokes and spontaneous marks with representational forms, existing in the space between the tangible and the abstract.

My work is a metaphor for the search for answers in a world where they feel both close at hand and impossibly distant.
