Artist Statement

My paintings explore the tension between strength and vulnerability—between what is held and what slips away. Figures, birds, and elemental forms emerge and dissolve within layered compositions that echo the wash of memory: blurred, reappearing, half-known. These images hover, dissolve, and reform, like emotional states just beneath the surface. I seek to hold a quiet middle space where memory and emotion pass through the body of the image. My muted palette allows tenderness, ambiguity, and presence to surface without demand. Through gestural abstraction and figuration, I aim not to resolve, but to resonate. The work invites introspection—offering a space where the spiritual and the visual meet, and where viewers may recognize something of their own interior.
