About The Collections

My work begins with travel, seeking places that resonate deeply and transforming them into surreal, dreamlike environments one might drift into. Through color, pattern, light, and layered texture, I reconstruct recognizable forms into rhythmic patterns, turning observation into invention. My goal is to translate how it feels to inhabit a place, rather than how it looks, creating painted worlds that balance reality and reverie.

Fieldwork

Fieldwork continues my evolving inquiry into how landscapes can be interpreted as symbols and iconography. Rooted in travel and direct observation, this body of work translates lived environments into visual language. Patterns, repetition, and charged color become tools for distillation—compressing vast terrain into rhythmic structures that oscillate between representation and abstraction. Each painting acts as both document and invention: a site where memory, movement, and surface converge.

Textural Plains

Textural Plains represents the next step in my practice: distilling landscapes into rhythmic, tactile abstractions. This series investigates repetition, surface, and depth flattening space into patterned fields while simultaneously pulling the viewer inward through intricate marks and tonal variation. The final layers unfold like woven fabric, creating a unified surface that celebrates both the materiality of paint and the boundless terrain of perception.

Painted in Amsterdam

Created during my residency in Amsterdam, this series captures fleeting impressions of canals, parks, and skies refracted through memory and light. It continues the exploration begun in Through the Brush using heightened contrast, shadow, and texture to merge the natural and urban. In this body of work, I was interested in how a familiar city could become a meditative landscape, where perception and atmosphere take precedence over place.

Through the Brush

Through the Brush marks the beginning of my dialogue between digital, analog, and nature. Each piece was first built on location, layer by layer, before being reverse engineered into paint on canvas. The series explores how movement, touch, and texture can define a landscape as much as its form an effort to preserve the spontaneity of a sketch while deepening its emotional depth through paint.
