Tension is important to my work—between beauty and darkness, abstraction and recognition, what is concealed and what is revealed. I use these contrasts to give visual form to experiences that can be difficult to express in words. Rather than defining what a viewer should feel, the work leaves space for personal memory, interpretation, and emotional response. Color, gesture, and layered surfaces become a way to explore identity, memory, and emotional transformation. My practice moves across painting, mixed media, collage, photography, and sculptural objects, often combining saturated color, expressive lines, and found materials. The work develops through an intuitive process of building, covering, removing, and reshaping. Faces and figures may emerge from abstraction, while unexpected marks and materials can redirect a piece entirely. This process allows discovery and accident to remain visible rather than forcing the work toward a predetermined image.
