I’m an autistic artist living and working in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
I approach my practice with an attunement to natural processes as perceptual frameworks rather than visual references. Subtle shifts and organic rhythms guide how I layer, revisit, and respond to materials over time. These processes echo internal experience, allowing meaning to emerge through sustained attention rather than narrative. I prioritize slowness, honesty, and material presence, inviting the viewer into visual spaces that feel both embodied and open-ended.
I have a bachelor’s degree in music, and am a self-taught visual artist. Synesthesia shapes how I perceive and create, lending me a keen sensitivity to sound and visual associations. My paintings interpret color as a sonic experience– exploring how hue and pigment can behave like harmonic structures and rhythmic patterns. Through form, repetition, and improvisation, I examine how tonal narratives accumulate and evolve– and how they manifest psychologically.
As I grow older, the distinctions between art and life are slipping away. Creating has become less about thinking and more about responding to the spaces within and around me. No longer driven by resolution or outcome, I work through intuition– allowing uncertainty, revision, and pause to guide each piece toward its own internal coherence. This approach mirrors lived experience, where meaning often emerges through patience rather than closure.
