STATEMENT

My work begins with the idea that we are held together by invisible threads connecting us to each other and to the world around us. These threads form fragile webs, shaping our lives in ways we rarely notice—resilient one moment, unraveling the next.

I'm less interested in depicting a scene than in capturing what it feels like to live within those interconnected systems. In the studio, I work with acrylic paint. I build layers, then scrape them back, uncovering fragments, relationships, and unexpected passages that guide the painting forward. Rough edges, irregular forms, lines, and drips move in and out of alignment. Fragments of pattern, sometimes including textiles, suggest something lived—stitched, worn, repaired. I'm drawn to moments when forms shift, collide, or settle into balance.

Painting is my way of paying attention — to the memories we carry, the connections we rely on, and the marks time leaves behind. Whether my work begins with a figure, a building, or a landscape, I keep returning to the same questions: How are we connected to one another and to the world around us? What traces do people and places leave behind? How do we make sense of what remains?

These are the questions at the heart of my work. I don't expect to answer them. I paint because the questions themselves matter
