I have always been drawn to bold, saturated color and highly active surfaces. I describe my work as “maximal expressionistic”—a way of translating the constant movement of my inner world into compositions that are layered, crowded, and intentionally dense.

My work builds through accumulation. I layer, interrupt, and sometimes simplify, but I don’t aim to resolve the surface cleanly. I explore and often exploit imperfections. Elements overlap and compete, creating tension and visual energy. From across a room, the work may feel immediate and immersive; up close, quieter relationships and smaller details begin to emerge. Through this density, I explore what I call organized emotion.

As a mixed media artist, my toolbox is expansive. I move between painting, collage, and dimensional approaches, allowing the materials and process to shape the work's direction.

My interest in and observation of young children at play shaped my process. Children create honestly in the present moment, experimenting without fear of being wrong. In the studio, I try to maintain that same openness — breaking rules and pushing boundaries so discovery can guide the work.

The work doesn’t resolve — it holds what’s there: an open heart and organized emotion.
