My paintings begin with a pulse, a frequency I can’t name yet, but one that I feel vibrating beneath the surface. I sit with it until I can no longer, until it courses through me. Color, weight, and gesture arrive before logic. The studio becomes a threshold where time loosens and something invisible takes shape. I’m not following a plan; I attune to potential and process experience.
What emerges lives between potential and form. Where awareness forms shape, and how that shape, in turn, shifts awareness. Each painting is suspended between intention and revelation, shaped as much by chance as by intention.
The canvas becomes a space of encounter, between self and other, maker and viewer, now and then. Each work is a node in an evolving cycle: layering, distorting, cracking open. The process is never linear. It unfolds, folds in, and begins again.
Rather than aiming for a conclusion, I paint toward presence. Each work is a record of transformation, a collapse of imagined and felt realities into a singular, fleeting form. I invite the viewer to meet the work in its breadth, not for answers, but to dwell in the paradox of being: that we may never fully know, yet sometimes glimpse eternities. In the fractal unfolding of experience, I find faith.
