My paintings move between atmosphere and structure, intuition and revision. I work in layers, often building the surface through subtraction as much as addition, so that each piece holds a sense of time, erosion, and discovery.
I’m drawn to paintings that feel spacious but not empty, with a kind of weathered lyricism. Some forms suggest landscape, coastline, architecture, or memory, but I’m less interested in depicting a place than in creating a felt experience of one. I want the work to hold both tension and calm: softness interrupted by edge, harmony complicated by friction.
Using oil and cold wax, I build surfaces that are tactile, muted, and luminous, allowing buried marks and shifted passages to remain visible. What matters most to me is that a painting feels alive, resolved but still open, carrying both presence and mystery.
