My work investigates painting’s capacity to hold multiple pictorial spaces within a still, silent frame. I am drawn to its ability to register memory, sensation, and premonition, while sparking reverberations in the imagination and body. At the core of my practice is an inquiry into landscapes under pressure from climate change. Signs of infrastructure and architecture serve as framing devices, juxtaposed with fragile natural phenomena: atmosphere, water, fire, and erosion. Within this interplay, the painted surface becomes a threshold for transformation, a site where natural and built environments intersect, dissolve, and reform.
The resulting works convey flux and instability, yet are unified within atmospheric fields of color that lend cohesion to complexity. Painting, in this sense, becomes a metaphor for deep time and environmental precarity. Ultimately, I paint to bear witness, cultivate empathy, and illuminate our interdependence with the landscape.
