ARTIST STATEMENT
​
What exists between memory and perception, where phantom images appear as events, emerging, dissolving, and re-forming in real time?
This landscape of the mind is the place where my art arrives, through an intuitive process in which sensation, recollection, and material response unfold together. What results is an image that resists completion, hovering between what is seen, what is remembered, and what can only be intuited.
Landscape operates within my practice as a site of psychological and emotional projection rather than geographic specificity. The places that surface are unstable and indeterminate, echoes of remembered environments shaped by time, erosion, and affect. They register as fleeting impressions or peripheral glances, where light, atmosphere, and spatial suggestion take precedence over descriptive detail. In this way, the work mirrors the mechanics of memory itself: layered, fragmentary, and perpetually in the process of becoming.
Process
Art is a single language with many dialects
My process is a constant dialogue between the traditional and the digital, where each medium refines my mastery of the other. Regardless of the tool, I begin with large, simple shapes, and add more and more refined marks, repeatedly building layer upon layer to create depth. Guided by a deep sensitivity to color theory, I favor a palette of harmonious pastels and sophisticated neutrals, punctuated by intentional, bold accents. With digital, I use the tools to the fullest, working with adjustment layers, manipulating and altering color hue, saturation, and opacity. I will copy, flip, alter, paste, transform, and change all aspects of the work till I am satisfied, but because I work large with very limited layers, most of what I do is paint. I will then erase or scrape layers to reveal the history underneath, a rhythmic cycle of addition and subtraction that continues until a sense of recognition, peace, and place emerges from the canvas.
