Artist Statement
I work across drawing, painting, and sculpture, moving between direct observation and abstraction.
My work begins with observing people, landscapes, objects, and their relationships. I am interested in how memory and experience shape what we see. A figure or everyday scene can reveal a place's character and suggest a story beyond the moment.
