I make abstract paintings built from layered color, shifting transparencies, and organic forms inspired by stones and weathered natural shapes. The compositions balance calm with structure, with forms that emerge, recede, and overlap.

I paint this way to stay connected to the memories that have shaped me. Over time, I lose the sequence of events and the smaller details, but color and atmosphere remain. When I think of an important place or experience, what comes back most clearly is a feeling and the colors I associate with it. Painting lets me hold onto that emotional echo without forcing it into a literal description.

The work is also a way of resisting perfectionism. The irregularity of natural forms serves as a reminder — what is lasting and meaningful is rarely exact. My paintings celebrate memory as I actually experience it: fragmentary, atmospheric, and deeply felt.
