ABOUT:
I am a painter exploring emotional landscapes, identity and the tension between what is shown and what is hidden. Striving for stability and understanding, I often mask my true emotions beneath the façade that everything is fine. The internal push and pull to contain vulnerability while maintaining control informs both the content and process of my work.
My practice is intuitive and process driven., grounded in an exploration of the material qualities of paint. Texture, layering and mark making are metaphors for what lies beneath the surface. I often combine other mediums such as charcoal and pastels to deepen the emotional resonance. These abstract works are in essence, emotional self-portraits. They reflect parts of myself I try to manage or contain, yet inevitably seep through.
Barriers, negative space and fragmented forms serve as visual devices to express control, concealment and the quiet struggle of being seen. Through painting, I navigate the delicate balance between exposure and protection.
