Artist Statement

My approach to art is a love story to both color and geometry. My hard edge abstract paintings rely heavily on my design and drafting training and tools, and a deep understanding of perspective and perception. My appreciation and understanding of color is a major inspiration. I find deep satisfaction in mixing paints—watching as colors transform—creating exciting new hues, palettes, and combinations. In my painting process, I often experience a sensation of being enveloped or submerged in color.

Another area of focus for me is the absence of color and the sharp contrast between black and white—absolute light and dark. The contrast and intersection between these two worlds—color and colorless—is a point of exploration in much of my work. I also enjoy utilizing optical illusions to further draw the viewer into my paintings. Paired with a love of geometric shapes, these concepts form the basis for many of my paintings.

Through my freehand abstract paintings, I strive to experiment with color, movement, and space in a more fluid, improvisational format. Both styles are central to my identity as a painter. With all of my work, I aim to visually excite the viewer while prompting an experience of curiosity, emotion, and wonder.
