My paintings begin before I ever touch a canvas as visual images, arriving fully formed to me in ordinary moments. Working in bold color and geometric forms, I bring these visions into being, iterating the process until the surface matches the vision. I believe these images carry more than they first appear to: they point to something true about my own life, and about the wider world I'm moving through, even when I can't name what that something is until the painting is finished.

That same instinct: follow the image, trust the material, carries into everything else I make. I'm drawn to processes that resist total control. The kiln, the flame, the loom all have their own say in the outcome. Moving between painting's immediacy and the slower, more physical demands of glass and clay keeps me honest about what each material wants to do rather than what I want to force it into.

Across all of it, I'm interested in color as its own kind of subject: how it holds a mood, a memory, a place, and in the discipline of translating an internal, often fleeting image into something solid enough to hang on a wall or hold in your hands.
