ARTIST STATEMENT
My work explores the subterranean spaces between memory, dreams, and personal mythology. As a multi-disciplinary fine artist, I create abstract, multilayered, and colorful works that evoke a sense of mystery and boundlessness.
For me, making art is both a dynamic process and a form of meditation. While I may enter the studio with a specific intention, my practice is deeply intuitive; each mark is a spontaneous response to the one before it. I am fascinated by the interplay of color, light, saturation, and the physical properties of translucency and opacity. By surrendering to my materials — including oils, acrylics, encaustics, or found objects — I allow the artwork to emerge slowly through successive layers.
My practice is rooted in the belief that art connects us to a universal creative force. Whether working in painting, encaustic, or mixed media, my goal is to create a space for the viewer to find themselves deeply moved and reconnected to the spirit.
