artist statement

I am continually inspired by elements in motion- the changing sky at sunset, waves and tides, the way light and wind dance over and through everything. These ephemeral forces echo to me the shifting nature of emotion, memory, and the inner landscape. Working primarily in watercolor and other fluid mediums, I follow an intuitive process that allows me to embody my own undulations while I paint, reveling in the movement of the materials and playing between opaque and transparent layering.

My painting practice is also a personal one, an alchemical process through which I move and transmute emotional energies. My current body of work emerged during a time of profound grief. In that space of surrender, a door within me opened, allowing a deeper voice to come through. Informed by my work with Family Constellations, at times, the gestures and movements within a painting feel like constellations themselves, arrangements of feeling, memory, and connections that can subtly shift and heal through attention and expression.

My hope is that viewers find a sense of spaciousness and a place to feel something within themselves reflected, moved, or simply held.
