A Note From the Studio

As an artist, I observe moments of vulnerability which open pathways into deeper explorations of intuitive movements, memory, and perception. While obsession is central to my practice, I am drawn to the relationship between beauty and the intricate details residing in the world around us, both visible and internal. Working primarily in oil, I magnify light and shadow upon overlooked features such as cellulite, freckles, and wrinkles that are shaped by years of weathered experiences.  

Focusing on flesh and gestures, I seek to reveal the body’s rawness within oil, but also to connect these feelings of fragmented, hyper-realistic figures and alter them into networks of doodles based off of emotions. Diving into the world of truth within the vulnerability of intriguing figures using oil, I subsequently transform the feelings felt during the process and preserve them into pen and acrylic on paper, building instinctive patterns that echo the unseen systems within us. My repetitive, swirling marks reflect the rhythms of daily life, from hormonal shifts to mundane routines and even mirror the universal cycles of creation and decay. Through this meditative process, I aim to merge surface beauty with internal complexity, transforming vulnerability into a dialect of expression and entity.
