A word’s meaning can shift or be lost the more you say it. An object’s purpose can start to wane the longer you stare at it. My paintings are the result of mulling over familiar sources, layered with ephemeral phenomena to elevate and transform them from their original states.

I constantly return to the same forms: a cherished little bowl, a mysterious mound of snow, an ornamental column, a leaf. They reveal something new every time I revisit them, whether it’s a way of altering their identity, a buried memory, or an odd connection between two things that seem unrelated. By reducing and adapting the forms, they serve new functions or ask new questions. These ever-evolving, sacred forms are combined with subtle color gradients taken from observing fleeting moments. These gradients create an atmospheric and ethereal quality to the liminal spaces inside the paintings. I strive to make quietly seductive work that demands a long look and invites the viewer to question what they are seeing.
