Each of my paintings is a process of discovery. Through repeated cycles of revision and repainting, I search for shapes and lines with character. My work embraces visual uncertainty, allowing ambiguities, spatial tensions, and unexpected relationships to emerge through the painting process. I am interested in the ways compositions can suggest depth, movement, and atmosphere without fixed resolution.

My practice is guided by an attention to visual relationships and moments of surprise. I ultimately seek to create work that is both beautiful and evocative, inviting viewers into a space of open interpretation and sustained looking.
