About My work

My paintings begin in the body before they arrive on canvas.

Figurative abstraction is where I live as a painter - the space where human presence is felt rather than fully seen. Figures emerge and dissolve within a composition, layered beneath and within fields of color and mark. What interests me is not the figure as subject, but as carrier - of memory, of emotion, of something not easily named.

I work intuitively. Each piece unfolds through movement, depth, and response rather than predetermined outcome. I do not begin with a finished image in mind. I begin with a feeling, a tension, a question - and I follow it.

The work has evolved over time. Earlier paintings moved through abstract florals - luminous, layered explorations of color and form that taught me how to listen to a surface. That foundation is still present, even when it’s no longer visible. What has deepened is the human element. Figures have emerged from the work almost on their own, asking to be followed.

Earlier and current paintings exist in conversation with each other, tracing a path of expansion and deeper inquiry. These places are not meant to be fully explained, but felt - inviting the viewer into a quiet, reflective encounter with what is often unspoken.
