My work is a dance with the unknown. Intention, mark-making, texture, and form become moments of engagement with potential—energy that breathes through me and into the work. Rooted in my journey of seeking understanding, my paintings reflect and respond to the timeless questions that accompany our human experience. They exchange in the act of seeing, shifting perception, and inviting a reimagining of one's place in the world.

I am drawn to the divide between self and other, certainty and mystery, the finite and the infinite. Within this tension, I find wholeness–a balance born from the interplay of opposites. My work exists within this duality, where motion and form unfold in real time, and the search for meaning becomes its answer. Each painting emerges as a moment within this flow—myself, the work, and the world, all part of the same continuous rhythm.

  The viewer, like myself, meets the work at a point in its unfolding, stepping into a space where meaning is never fixed but always becoming. Through my art, I aim to create moments of pause–thresholds where the viewer can reflect on where they are, who they are, and where they are leading themselves. My work is not about offering answers but allowing the opportunity to question. To reevaluate direction and encourage one to look up and see the world as they move through it.
