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

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

The 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.
