Through layers of paint, texture, gesture, and organic form, I investigate the relationship between beauty, imperfection, healing, and transformation.

I began my professional career in watercolor during the late 1980s, initially using art as a means of navigating personal healing. Over time, my work evolved from representational botanical imagery into a more abstract visual language centered around emotion, memory, and surface.

Nature remains a constant influence in my practice. Leaves, flowers, branches, and weathered forms often appear throughout my work—not as literal subjects, but as symbols of resilience, fragility, and renewal. I am drawn to textures that feel aged, imperfect, layered, and lived-in because they reflect the emotional landscapes we all carry.

Today, my paintings focus primarily on abstract still life, abstract botanicals, and pure textural abstraction. I work intuitively, building layers through splatters, expressive marks, and organic movement until each piece reveals its own balance between tension and harmony.

For me, painting is both exploration and restoration. I hope my work offers viewers a space for reflection, connection, and the recognition that beauty often exists within imperfection itself.
