Statement

My art practice is a continual form of experimentation to capture the resonance of the immaterial with light, shadow, and movement. I seek to balance the emotive and the experiential, the feminine and the masculine. Movement remains a fundamental element of my aesthetic awareness. My compositions convey emotions and ideas without relying on recognizable forms and reflect universal concepts.
