ARTIST STATEMENT

I paint to discover and imagine our intimate relationship with the environment in an abstract form. The work births from potent encounters of the body in space. Interweaving the psyche and materiality of paint, I search for reciprocity between the boundaries of real and imagined; intimacy and immensity; self and other.
