Contemporary Artist

ARTIST STATEMENT

Working at the edge of painting and printmaking, I explore the friction between alignment and dissonance; intention and accident; control and spontaneity.

I strive to create work that feels singular. Not just in how it looks, but in how it was made. 

Each work is an experiment in process: imagined, altered, and often re-invented to meet the demands of a single concept. It's the product of an experiment that couldn’t be run the same way twice.

What matters to me isn't consistency, but coherence: a thread of logic that binds each piece to its own making.
