Artist Statement

My current work explores the quiet dialogue between memory and material. Each painting begins with an observation — a shift of light, a gesture, a remembered place — and grows through layers of pigment, texture, and restraint. I am drawn to the tension between what is revealed and what is withheld, inviting viewers to slow down and find their own meaning within the surface.
