Statement

Through a blend of figuration and abstraction, I create images informed by portraiture. I paint women as a familiar point of reference, using the figure to explore the emotional weight of complex relationships—both within the self and with others.

My work allows me to access moments of personal vulnerability. Each piece is an attempt to fulfill an ever-present sense of longing, capturing a search for something not yet discovered. To remain unguarded and emotionally open is a powerful act. Life is both beautiful and complicated, and the past few years have deeply affected us all, prompting reflection and doubt about the choices we make. It is this tension—the space between beauty and uncertainty—that I seek to portray, responding to the world around me through a non-linear narrative.
