Artist Statement

I'm a multidisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles who strives to unite art and science. My pieces showcase the natural world's complexity and beauty while addressing social issues. I'm intrigued by the world around me and uncovering hidden truths. I push the limits of my medium and am constantly seeking new possibilities. By mixing mineral solutions and salt, I create captivating textures and effects that add depth to my work. My canvases showcase delicate patterns and crystals formed by the mineral solutions. My latest series examines the impact of saltwater intrusion on farming and food sources. I aspire to inspire and challenge myself and my audience.
