ARTIST STATEMENT

My work explores the quiet systems that shape perception and movement through space.

Some works remain contained within the canvas. Others expand outward into murals that unfold across walls and architectural surfaces. In both cases, the process begins with a field of color and a few initial marks. Over time, structures emerge.

Lines suggest pathways. Fragments of geometry appear and dissolve. Shapes move through the surface like signals passing through an atmosphere.

The work develops as a conversation between intuition and structure. Some elements move toward order, while others remain open. Layers accumulate through drawing, erasing, glazing, and revision, allowing earlier decisions to remain visible beneath the surface.

The finished works are not meant to be decoded. They are meant to be lived with. Each piece becomes a quiet field of relationships between color, line, rhythm, and space where perception can wander.

Background

As a child, I dreamed of becoming a comic book artist, but eventually fell in love with abstract expressionism—both as an art movement and as a way of life. After moving from Seattle to San Francisco, I spent over a decade selling my work to private collectors and exhibiting paintings throughout the city. I was fortunate to collaborate with local cafés, galleries, and larger corporate clients such as Starbucks, The Gap, and T-Mobile.
