About
I paint about energy, memory, sensory experience, and connection.
Growing up in San Francisco Bay was an incredible start to this creative path. Wandering, exploring, and creating among beautiful landscapes, jagged coast, and diversity of art and culture set the tone for my art practice rooted in energy and exploration.
Items taped to my studio wall give clues about my process: a cocktail coaster from a New Year's Eve party in Munich, a small sign found in a parking lot, a hot pink luggage ticket, a graffiti snapshot taken in a park in Milan. I use an every increasing amalgamation of methods and materials to create including paints of all types, found objects, packaging materials, art remnants, books pages, personal mementos, and photographs
At its core, my work is about capturing moments and sharing its energy. Do you feel it too?
