“My work aspires to a beauty that is not merely decorative, but rather multidimensional, unsettling, and becoming.”
“I am interested in using paint and transparent materials to create multi-layered compositions that, through a play with light, reflection, and shadow, explore simultaneity of image and emptiness. I have also taken some work off the wall and foregone the opacity of the traditional canvas. They now suspend or sit in the center of the room like a portal. “
