Artist’s Statement

Rooted in relentless curiosity, scientific training, and a love for the visceral qualities of the materials themselves, my work seeks to create knowledge in visual form. Like my science, I want each painting to teach something that is not already known.

Internal reference points - lived experiences, thought processes, yearnings, and expressions - combined with keen observation of the natural world inform material explorations emerging through process.

Each piece begins as an experiment, whether with bold gestural marks, paint poured from above, abundant swipes, or flooded pools of pigment coaxed by gravity. As layers build and the distinctive identity of the painting begins to emerge, I then use hypothesis-driven approaches and critical thinking to carefully balance value, design, color, and line. But then audaciousness returns and so it goes, over and over again.  

The energy is always oscillating between abandon and restraint.
