About Me

“Dissect a feeling like a psychologist, arrange it like an architect, paint it like an artist”

Statement

My work begins with the desire to hold onto things that feel unstable: memory, tenderness, shame, desire, beauty, and the quiet violence that can exist within intimacy.

Much of what I paint comes from feelings that were left unspoken, or that I did not fully register until later. Painting gives me a way to return to those moments without having to explain them. I am interested in the point at which something once familiar or sacred becomes complicated, without necessarily becoming less beautiful.

My paintings are often controlled and carefully constructed. Within that order, I introduce small disruptions—something intrusive, uneasy, or slightly out of place. I am drawn to moments when softness and discomfort coexist, when tenderness becomes uneasy, beauty begins to feel unstable, and vulnerability is no longer entirely passive or innocent.

For me, art is a way of understanding and recording my world. I am not trying to resolve the contradictions within my work or provide an answer. I am more interested in preserving a feeling before it becomes too easily explained: a thought, a memory, or an emotional state as it existed in a particular moment.
