I am an experimental, conceptual artist working across painting, sculpture, and other material-based forms. My practice explores the space between the corporeal, metaphysical, and spiritual—where instinct, time, and introspection shape the work. I naturally embrace accidents, experimentation, and intuition relating to decisions I make as I go along.

Working primarily on polypropylene and mineral paper, I use water, ink, and watercolor to create conditions of resistance, merging, flow, and evaporation. The image is not preconceived; it emerges through gesture, chance, and collaboration with the materials. Improvised tools, hard and loose brushwork, dripping, smearing, and layering allow the work to unfold as a record of embodied movement.

My paintings inhabit tensions between structure and spontaneity, chance and choice, materiality and spirit, the conscious and subconscious. Through imperfection and uncertainty, I seek forms that reflect shifting thought, impermanence, memory, and the unknown.
