ARTIST STATEMENT
My work is an intuitive exploration of the relationship between imagination and the tangible world. Influenced by a decade in France ad graduate studies at L'Institut Superieur des Arts Appliques in Paris, my practice is rooted in the visceral way a surface captures color.
I approach painting with curiosity and play, allowing each piece to evolve through layered gestures and experimentation. Textures and color are central to my process, imbuing each piece with movement, depth and emotion.
Each painting becomes a space for reflection-an invitation for viewers to engage the sense, explore the rhythms and discover a personal resonance within the work.
