I create abstract paintings built from layered color and shifting transparencies. Stones and weathered natural shapes inspire the forms I use.

My process begins with loose, unplanned layers, followed by a pause to find the composition within what has emerged. I think of each painting as a puzzle, spending days sketching different possibilities until the composition clicks. When I return to the canvas, I quiet some areas and bring others forward until the piece finds its balance.

That process of creating calm from visual chaos is deeply soothing to me. I’m drawn to the moment when the noise falls away and the painting feels at rest.
