In a culture increasingly driven by speed and scale, my work offers a deliberate counterpoint, unfolding slowly and intentionally. I am unapologetically committed to an approach to image-making that prioritizes touch, care, and attention—features that cannot be rushed. This rhythm reflects my values: tenderness, patience, and a deep engagement with process.

A system of mark-making based on the grid anchors my compositions. The order and stability that the grid provides, however, is continually challenged by the imperfections of human gesture. As I work, the grid wavers, slipping out of alignment, creating tension between control and unpredictability. Fragility, imperfection, and impermanence are constants, echoing the universal tension between our intentions and the inevitable disruptions of life. These truths shape my approach to the act of making.

My materials are simple: inks, gouache, and colored pencil, applied to surfaces including paper, canvas, panel, and architecture. The scale of my work ranges from the intimate—just a few inches—to the monumental, spanning over 400 feet. Despite the precision of the finished images, no digital tools are used in their creation. Every mark is placed by hand, with intention.

As I work, I let go of expectations, allowing the compositions to emerge through accumulation, repetition, and improvisation. The images that result from this approach feel both still and moving, orderly and chaotic, striving toward perfection while wholly imperfect.

Beauty, I believe, resides in the in-between—the space where chaos meets organization.
