Artist Statement

My work is about transforming and organizing visceral energy and experience into something visible and tangible. I create movement in my work to cultivate a certain stillness within. My active mind quiets, and I get lost in each piece; as a result, painting and drawing become meditative and therapeutic. I appreciate the problem-solving aspects and challenges of creating my work: specifically, constructing interesting organic compositions through dynamic interaction of color, line and form. I utilize the natural unpredictability and fluidity of my materials – acrylic, ink, watercolor & spray paint – to my advantage as I explore various processes, aesthetics and techniques. Creating each piece is like solving a puzzle, and I feel like a part of me evolves along with it.
