Statement

Through my paintings, I aim to create emotional pathways that resonate with the depths of the human experience. I use watercolor, ink, pastel, spray paint, and acrylic to utilize their visceral qualities to demonstrate different modes of being and thinking. The work encloses problems and solutions within the same space that harmonize into peaceful abstract landscapes. These spaces employ the viewer to interpret routes toward healing, wisdom, and tranquility.
