Artist Statement
“Crafted by classical methods and embellished with a vibrant palette, my artistic practice revolves around expressing the ephemeral nature of our surroundings. The transitory state of each happening allows for only brief but pure recollections, so adopting a candid lens is a way of genuinely feeling moments, examining their context and illuminating the beauty woven into this space.
A painter of light, I find myself maneuvering between tight brush strokes and aggressive mark making to depict luminosity in a tranquil yet dynamic fashion. I’m particularly intrigued by light’s ability to contextualize intimate stories in a constantly changing world. My work ultimately seeks to chronicle the various emotions and experiences that construct these narratives.”
