About The Paintings
My work traces a path through shifting geographies and terrains, it is less about the subject depicted and more about the act of painting itself, a dialogue between hand, surface, and time. I weave in fragments of my past life in design to make graphic forms, grids, and sharp contrasts only to disrupt them with unruly textures, neon pulses, and gestural mark making. The result is a world suspended between the familiar and the uncanny: at once digitally frozen and intimately alive.
Each layer is a moment, a decision, a memory. Sealing them beneath the next, it vanishes yet it remains, hidden, haunting the surface. Working at a large scale allows the body to move freely, and in that movement, something raw and expressive emerges. The viewer is offered not only a window into distant landscapes, but into the physical language of painting itself. Every drip, splatter, and stroke becomes both a mark of presence and a quiet celebration of the medium's wild, uncontainable spirit.
Desert 2025
The Yucca Valley created an interesting shift in my pallet. With the pink sky reflecting on each object, the light created a luminosity to the paintings of blues and purples, blending everything into a dreamlike state.
Jungle 2025
This series consists of 2 areas:
Mexico
The lush jungle landscape of Jalisco introduced a range of textures and colors unlike anything in my previous work. Towering palm fronds, some the size of cars, form thick canopies that cast dynamic shadows over the cracked earth.
Hawaii
Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park unveiled an entirely new palette of colors. After sketching there, I felt inspired to bring a darker, moodier tone into my paintings. What was once a barren field of black lava is now teeming with vibrant plant life.
Nordic & Lowland 2024
This series consists of 2 areas:
Iceland
Iceland offers a wide range of ecological diversity as you move across the island. Each step reveals a different, magical environment filled with wild and varied plant life. Like walking through a dreamscape, the lush foliage seems to come alive.
Amsterdam
My paintings of Amsterdam reflect the deep love I have for my second home. Drawn from places where I’ve spent quiet, joyful moments, these works highlight iconic areas within a city devoted to living well.
