An Act of Alchemy

My paintings explore what it means to be alive at this moment in history. Inundated with an increasing reliance on technology and a waning sense of community, the majority are left navigating uncertainty and overstimulation resulting in frequent ups and downs. I respond with one of a kind improvisational abstractions that combine a personal release guided by abstract expressionism with a playful flamboyant use of color that says, I am here. 

​

I approach the creative act as a kind of alchemy. With every mark, brush stroke, layer, and wash, I work to transform mental and physical unrest into presence. With each piece, emerges an invitation for viewers to reconnect with their own agency, self-worth, and capacity for light. 

​

My hope is that each piece may instill a lifelong reminder for collectors to pause, chase joy, and feel a sense of awe in the present when they encounter these works.
