My work emerges from my practice of seeing. Observing nature and myself, I witness transient ephemera such as shifting shadows on pavement or the colors visible when closing my eyes to kiss my partner. Engaging with fluid acrylic paints, I work instinctively, reacting in collaboration with the mediums and allowing the fluidity of the suspended pigments to employ its own movements and inform my next gesture. It is through this practice that I learn to embrace, rather than fear, the changes that I cannot control.
I am drawn to the parallels between my human body and the natural environment. I notice the subtleties in nature—specifically, the flow of water and the softness of shadows—and utilize them in my work to translate a delicate, shifting temperament and reflect on the subtleties within my own human energy and experience.
