About
My work is rooted in drawing, mostly on paper, using ink, paint, and markers in a tactile, intuitive process. I’m increasingly drawn to the immediacy of mark-making: loose lines, gestures, simplified imagery, and the physical rhythm of color on surface.
I love creating settings and scenes where shapes, symbols, and marks shift positions in a constant search for balance, within themselves, in relation to one another, and to the space they occupy.
Sometimes they float, weightless and detached, as if freed from the laws of nature. Other times, they are heavy, pulled down, leaning against each other in an attempt to hold form.
What once were figures and objects have become impressions, icons, and fragments. Visual moments that suggest rather than describe. A stilled version of a memory or an initial impression.
I take inspiration from dance, science, nature, everyday dreams, my small obsessions of the moment.
