My work explores connection—between people, between bodies and space, and between inner and outer experience. I am interested in how connection can be felt as a form of knowing: intuitive, physical, and not dependent on language. Working without boundaries across painting, drawing, and pliable textile sculpture, I use color, paint, and fiber to create a sense of presence.

Process is central to my practice. I work intuitively, refusing to limit myself to a single medium and instead choosing whatever materials speak to me in the moment. I allow the inherent intelligence of these materials to guide each piece rather than working toward a predetermined outcome. Meaning emerges through the fluid stroke of a brush, the tactile weight of a fiber, or the unexpected juxtaposition of disparate elements.

I came to abstract work through a lifelong engagement with music. I am deeply influenced by listening, improvisation, and embodied attention. I find a natural kinship between musical rhythm, the application of paint, and the structural tension of textile construction. My work moves between structure and spontaneity, tension and release, and a growing sense of lightness and joy that emerges through movement and play.

Alongside my larger paintings, I create smaller, more intimate works—mixed-media objects, beaded fiber art, and wearable textile sculptures that carry the same language of line, gesture, and stitch. These works are part of my ongoing Studio Series, a practice focused on small-scale forms. Within this series, ideas become more immediate and tactile, offering a sense of warmth, curiosity, and a quiet, playful joy rooted in the intimate nature of cloth, glass beads, and hand-held objects.

Across media, my aim is to create work that invites feeling before interpretation—work that can be experienced intuitively, and known without words, while leaving space for moments of recognition, ease, and joy.
