Artist Statement

I create abstract paintings, wire sculptures, and installations that explore the energy and synergy of the mind, body, spirit connections. My large-scale paintings suggest the rhythm and movement of energy particles, subconscious meditations, incorporating geometry, utilizing layered colors, and a variety of mark-making.

My wire sculptures transform space into delicate, web-like forms that echo both the patterns found in nature and the structure of human design. These pieces shift as viewers move around them, creating an ever-changing dialogue between the artwork and its environment inviting viewers to engage in an immersive experience.

I weave together the dense textures of our modern world with the timeless patterns that have always guided us. Using multi-faceted materials and novel techniques, I encourage viewers to connect and explore the sublime.
