“I work in a space between gesture and imagination. These new paintings evolve through a dialogue between improvisation and formality until creatures, fragments, and memories start to reveal themselves. The visuals are gestural and intuitive. I like to think it produces something before and beyond language. This work draws from abstract expressionism, automatism, and myth, yet remains grounded in personal narrative. My goal is for each piece to be it’s own psychological landscape where humor, sadness, anxiety, tenderness, and the wild, all coalesce and create its own fantastical world.”
