I once carried an easel through Italy, painting greens beside white houses, the crisp clarity of 9 a.m. softening into 5 p.m. warmth. So much to hold, so little held. In those transient moments, I felt the heart of painting: beauty that moves, art that abstracts.

I want my work to ask, not tell; offering breathing room, embracing openness, defying predetermined meanings.

Rooted in direct observation, my practice draws from everyday life’s vibrant colors, fluid forms, and dynamic patterns. Using layered acrylics and mixed media, I craft tapestries where each brushstroke and layer embodies seeing, refining, and yielding to intuition.

Rather than fixed answers, I invite each observer not only to witness but to participate in the work’s continuing story.
