ARTIST STATEMENT

 

My work explores the space between the surreal and the everyday, where ordinary and the mundane becomes extraordinary. In my still lifes, I often take on an aerial perspective, allowing simple arrangements to unfold as landscapes of shifting color and form. The objects I choose often speak with one another, opening a narrative that invites the viewer to step inside. I approach landscapes with the same thought process. Clouds become vast, fabric-like forms that drift and loom over settings that are at once humble and sublime. 

​

While working from life grounds my practice; each painting begins with my own search, but its meaning is never fixed. I leave space for viewers to bring their own interpretations, completing the story in ways that are personal and unexpected.
