My practice as an abstract expressionist painter is characterized by energetic gesture and layering. With my whole body in motion, I scribble, drip, and obscure paint using palette knives, fingers, and sticks to create paintings rich with the history of their own making.
A residency as Visiting Artist at the American Academy in Rome deepened my trust in chance, risk-taking, and non-judgmental mark-making, bringing greater freedom to both my abstract and figurative work.
Working primarily in oils, in my San Francisco Bay Area studio, I explore the threshold space between abstraction and representation — the psychological and liminal terrain of transition: doorways, thresholds, and moments of change. The resulting surfaces reward sustained attention, revealing new complexity over time.
My paintings exist in a state of deliberate ambiguity, forms emerging and receding, inviting viewers into an open-ended dialogue with the work. "I'm interested in paintings that function as objects of contemplation — work that doesn't announce itself immediately but unfolds slowly for those willing to spend time with it."
My work has been acquired by private collectors internationally and is held in corporate collections in the United States. I have exhibited in galleries worldwide and have been featured in contemporary art publications.
