STATEMENT OF WORK
My paintings explore landscape as psychological and imaginative terrain, evolving from mixed-media works to current paintings in watercolor and oil. In my earlier series "Across the Universe," I worked with acrylic on cardboard and panel, combining collage elements drawn from ancient art, children's drawings, and Emily Dickinson's envelope poems. These works used primary colors against earthy tones on matte surfaces reminiscent of cave walls and chalkboards—spaces of primal and childhood expression.
My current work continues this dialogue between intuition and deliberation. Watercolors serve as experimental explorations, generating fluid compositions that act as mental landscapes, while oil paintings emerge as more considered translations. My palette still draws from both radiant primaries and earth tones, grounding the work while maintaining its sense of wonder. Motifs drift through creating landscapes that are not literal representations but psychic geographies.
Each painting emerges from a place between memory and imagination, where observed landscapes transform into something more interior. These spaces invite contemplation of both the visible world and its hidden dimensions.
