Artist Statement
Working primarily in oil, I move between drawing and painting, balancing deliberate structure with chance. Scraping, glazing, covering, and exposing become ways of testing perception—allowing forms to hover between recognition and abstraction. Images are not illustrated but discovered through the material process itself.
