ARTIST STATEMENT

​

My paintings fuse influences from art, design, architecture, and dance with the expressive legacy of Abstract Expressionism. I investigate the dynamic interplay of color, texture, and motion, drawing inspiration from organic forms in nature. Working experimentally with acrylic, watercolor, gouache, oil, cold wax, and mixed media, I use the chemical and physical qualities of each medium to let paintings evolve through a balance of intention and spontaneity. By embracing paint’s natural movement I amplify both visual and tactile presence, transforming motion into visual poetry where color, texture, and form converge and invite a deeply sensory engagement.
