The groupings above represent the early years of my dedicated studio practice. During this time, I was deeply engaged with post-painterly abstraction, drawn to its structure and precision. Through reduced formats, repetitive systems, and saturated color, I explored visual clarity as a form of expression.

These paintings abstract natural environments into geometric forms, layering and juxtaposing shapes to evoke a fragmented sense of place and perception. They reflect my enduring preoccupation with visual metaphor and deep attentiveness to pattern, rhythm, and spatial relationships. Defined by a tighter framework and a more architectural approach to space, I think of them as foundational—earlier solutions to questions that continue to shape my work.

In 2025, my studio process shifted toward a new set of formal concerns, and I chose to archive these works—not to lessen their importance, but to mark a turning point and make space for a new direction.
