Artist Statement: I am a Lafayette based abstract painter. My work encompasses my admiration and curiosity for nature that result in large scale and small, intimate paintings. I am intrigued by the tension of opposing forces, qualities that mirror internal, emotional landscapes. Using a variety of mediums like spray paint, acrylic, charcoal, pastel and organic forms, I attempt to evoke moments that feel both fleeting and eternal. By working in layered processes, I create a “forever existence” that emphasizes the rejuvenation that nature has to offer, inviting the viewer to linger and take notice of the little moments. These pieces become suspended fragments of time, leaving traces of nature’s vitality - whispered acts of witnessing what cannot be held.
