My practice begins with fragments: images, materials, and encounters that become charged through the process of making. Working primarily in painting, I explore the relationship between time, imagination, and the ways we construct meaning around the world we inhabit.

I often begin with images that I am intuitively drawn toward before I fully understand their significance. The imagery that occupies my attention during a particular period becomes a way of engaging with my surroundings and experiences before I have the language to articulate them. Rather than starting with a fixed narrative, I allow connections to emerge through association and intuition.

Time is an ongoing presence in my work. I think of it less as a linear progression and more as a series of overlapping layers, where past experiences, present encounters, and imagined futures exist together. Archival images and found materials become activated through the present moment, carrying traces of their origins while taking on new meanings through their transformation.

Many of my works explore the relationship between the natural world and the environments humans construct within it. I am drawn to spaces where the artificial and organic overlap, such as abandoned structures, theatrical spaces, gardens, and other places where traces of human presence remain. These spaces become a way of thinking about time, transformation, and the relationship between what has been left behind and what continues to grow.
