Rooted in an ongoing exploration of abstraction within representation, my imagery balances the familiar with the foreign amid dreamlike, disorienting forms and spaces. Emphasizing the ambiguity of memory and its gradual fading, I often source imagery and distort figures from old family photo albums. Within these painterly reimaginings, I am interested in how perception and recollection are primarily informed by emotion. Negative space and stark shadows mirror the fractures of memory, inviting viewers to engage with what is seen and what is withheld. Through layered, atmospheric brushwork, I construct spaces where clarity and obscurity collide.
