Artist statement

My paintings are about regeneration, about visualizing transformation using organic forms found in nature.

Through an intuitive process, floral imagery dissolves into expressionism. Inspired by the art of O'Keeffe and Van Gogh, I seek a dynamic essence with expansive paint–layering, building texture, pushing color–to create an effect that is both generous and unexpected.

In my view, art is a relational experience, happening simultaneously on different planes, be it between art and artist, art and viewer, or artist and viewer. My paintings invite engagement and contemplation, touching others in ways that I will never fully know. Ultimately, my desire is to embrace art’s potential to connect, affirm, and spark joy.
