Artist Statement
My work spans various mediums and subjects, from painting with homemade paints to pyrography to site-specific installations. I often find that the differences in disciplines help inform one another which is endlessly stimulating and inspires me to experiment with new combinations of styles and mediums.
I am deeply inspired by nature and my experiences as a dancer, yogi, and aspiring skydiver to show the relationships between motion and time and the mind-body connection. Through the use of color, ripple-like linework, and layering of materials, I can depict the beauty and harmony I find in these relationships.
About
I’m an abstract-realist, figure painter whose work has been published and exhibited in Italy, Ireland, Germany, Spain, and around the USA. In 2019, I earned my BFA in Fine Arts from Suffolk University in Boston, MA. After a pandemic-induced pause, I moved to Leipzig, Germany, in 2021 to participate in two artist residencies at Pilotenkueche International Art Program.
Recently, I completed a Museum Studies certificate program at the University of Washington and have begun curating art for small exhibitions and individual collectors. I am currently based in my hometown of Seattle, WA.
