About

about

In art, as in life, I find powerful energy in the tension between seeming opposites—effort and ease, emotion and intellect, surrender and control. Through the physical process of making art, I understand what we often accept as dichotomies are infinitely more complex and interrelated. I strive to create a visual language that evokes liminal spaces within us that are beyond words, the moments of equilibrium between competing forces in our natures.

 

I love how abstraction provides range for my search for the “truest” moments of expression. Every piece I create is born intuitively, beginning with color as an emotional touchpoint. I tear, slice, and move paper to explore how form conveys weight and energy. Using only papers I paint myself, I create forms that integrate the accidents of torn paper with the intentionality of lines sliced by a razor blade. My large-scale paintings begin as small collages, challenging me to follow the spirit of a piece through changes in form and materiality.
