Artist Statement
My work explores the relationship between structure and pressure.
I create minimal compositions where space holds tension and small points of energy push against defined boundaries. These elements suggest forces that are not seen, but felt—gathering, resisting, and on the verge of release.
Working primarily in watercolor and gouache, I reduce each piece to its essential components to isolate these moments of quiet intensity.
