​
My practice is rooted in curiosity and play; a visual exploration of the inner and outer landscapes that shape us. I create environments that straddle the line between the real and the imagined, blending fragments of botanical life, intuitive mark-making, and textural experimentation. Nature is my co-conspirator, offering metaphors for resilience, decay, and growth.
​
I approach art making not with a plan, but with a question. I often start by layering washes of paint, staining, and scraping back into the surface, allowing accidents to guide me. I scribble, pour, collage, and erase, embracing the messiness of the creative process. These gestures become conversations between intention and spontaneity, between control and release. My materials often shift in response to what the work needs, ranging from pigment and charcoal to found textures, textiles, or natural elements.
​
Playfulness is central to my work, but not as an escape—rather, as a tool for serious inquiry. To play is to experiment, to remain open to transformation, and to find wonder in what might otherwise go unnoticed. I approach the surface like a field of possibility, where failure is welcome and meaning evolves through layering and revision.
​
I am not interested in perfection. Instead, I seek to create spaces where contradiction, emotion, and imperfection coexist. My work holds space for reflection, accountability, and joy. It’s where I test out new ways of seeing and being; both more connected to the natural world and more honest with myself.
​
Ultimately, my hope is that my work invites others to slow down, to notice, to ask questions, and to feel a little more free. Whether through the echo of a scribble or the quiet depth of a stain, I aim to create work that reflects the beautiful, chaotic process of becoming.
thank you for viewing my work!
