I see making art as a layered process that requires risk, persistence, and the willingness to undo what no longer holds. Entering the studio means pushing the work, revising it, and sometimes destroying it in order to move forward. I’ve learned that expansion—rather than refinement or control—is what keeps the work alive.

My process is guided by attention. I work through gesture, surface, and repeated revision, allowing the painting to accumulate and interrupt itself. The mental noise that accompanies making is not resolved but absorbed into the process. What remains visible is a record of looking, adjusting, and responding.

The work reflects everything I’ve seen and carried with me, translated through material, touch, and time rather than narrative or representation.
