Artist Statement
My recent work is guided by close attention to natural processes as perceptual frameworks. Drawing inspiration from the botanical world, I respond to subtle shifts, organic rhythms, and temporal layering—allowing patterns to accumulate, erode, and reconfigure through sustained engagement. Rather than working toward narrative or fixed imagery, I approach painting as an act of listening, where form is clarified through repetition, alteration, and discernment.
Slowness and material honesty are central to my practice. I build surfaces intuitively, allowing pauses and uncertainty to shape each work’s internal structure. These processes reference felt experience, where clarity arises gradually—offering spaces that feel responsive, open, and contemplative.
My background in music informs how I understand structure, rhythm, and tone, and sharpens my sensitivity to the relationships between sound and color. In my work, pigment is generative—hues behave as harmonies, intervals, and resonant fields that shift through repetition and improvisation. Through this lens, I explore how visual compositions unfold over time, finding coherence through duration, revision, and restraint.
