In my multi-disciplinary art practice, I create through a meditative process. A common result of this is an internal deconstruction of my anxieties, questions, hopes, etc. The shapes I paint, the colors I create, the objects I sculpt are all physical manifestations of a cerebral process - relics or artifacts that provide clues as to how an event unfolded over time. 

I am pulled towards bright and muted colors that give my work a playful lightness and aid in the digestion of some of my more intense thought processes, which provides a balance for me and a filter for the viewer.

In 2018, I began to explore my meditative processes as a means of informing the subjects of my works and editing the final expression in a way that protects the vulnerability of the private moments of creation. I am also interested in the space that exists between things in opposition - the active and inactive, the seen and unseen, the mental and physical, social and personal space, kinetic energy and inertia… How can I explore and express the energy that both divides and connects these things?
