From the Studio

There is a moment before I begin...
standing at the edge of something ancient.

The canvas is blank.
A sense. A whisper. Something not yet formed.

My paintings emerge from this place, where intuition speaks louder than logic, where symbols arrive unannounced, asking to be followed.

A branch, a crow’s wing, a flicker of gold. I listen. I respond.

The work lives between the visible and invisible. I’m drawn to the parts of life that don't explain themselves: the rhythms of nature, inherited memory, the soft way attention becomes presence.

I believe art can be for form of divination. A way to ask questions without insisting on immediate answers. Rather an unfolding.

Some days images arrive in a rush. Other days, the work waits for me to become someone who can see it.

My process is quiet and layered. I use texture, gesture, and recurring motifs... threads, feathers, roots... tracing a path through the internal landscape. These are not only visual choices, but energetic ones.

Each piece becomes a record of noticing. A map of where I’ve been and what has been trying to find me.

This is how I paint: as reverence, as listening, as a way to stay curious.
