Vista & Attractors Series 2021 - 2024

Shaped by the hidden structures and chaotic systems found in nature--cloud formations, wave dynamics, and the glitch aesthetics of technology--my paintings are arenas where balance, order, and chaos reveal the potent energies of the universe.

Blending intuition with deliberate choices, I use abstraction to probe the balance between fragility and resilience in natural systems and human experiences, including how technology impacts our perception of reality. Working with water-based paints and various mediums, I reflect natural patterns, combining spontaneity with precision. My recent techniques, such as layering and erasing, draw inspiration from the ever-changing landscape and contribute to a unique alchemical painting process. I’m fascinated by how materials interact on the canvas and transform over time.

Aligned with the color field painting tradition, my work highlights the emotional power of color. By drawing from nature and using saturated hues, I aim to capture light and color in a way that evokes awe and appreciation for the complexity of the world around us.

New Nature Series 2018 - 2024

In my art, I fuse elements of nature, memory, and abstraction to create works that delve into the interplay between internal and external worlds. My process, starting with paint pours, allows forms to emerge organically. I photograph the works in progress and then manipulate them digitally to explore variations in color and shape. The addition of hand-painted elements and gelatinous pours further enhances the tactile and sensory qualities of my paintings.

The biomorphic shapes that emerge evoke both natural forms and the human body, introducing layers of complexity and meaning. This dual interpretation encourages viewers to contemplate the interconnectedness of nature and humanity, blurring the boundaries between external realities and internal experiences. The feminine quality of the paintings further enhances this exploration, hinting at themes of identity, emotion, and the nurturing aspects of nature. My use of keyed-up color and robust linearity point to many facets of popular culture including advertising, design, comic books, and animated cartoons.

My artistic practice is an exploration of the intersections between nature, memory, and abstraction, inviting viewers to engage with themes of identity, emotion, and the interconnectedness of the human experience. The paintings reflect a deep engagement with both the materiality of paint and the conceptual framework of abstraction, resulting in works that are visually engaging and conceptually rich and emotionally resonant.
