Abstract, Graphic, Mixed Media

 

 

 

"My work is about being in the moment, about how form finds surface and then shifts,
about the now that lives in every application of paint, wax, clay, and in the sheer
presence of color. The present keeps stacking—urgently, intuitively, playfully, boldly—on top of itself to become an intersection of texture, line, pattern and light.

My work is not about closure or tidy packages; rather, it braves the unrefined chaos, the
spinning fans of the pinwheel, where the only language is this one: a visual expression
which urges the viewer to stay again and again in the imperfect but beautiful moment."
