STATEMENT 

For more than three decades, I have explored the space where painting, sculpture, and installation meet. I create two-dimensional paintings, three-dimensional shaped canvas works, and immersive installations that extend imagery into physical space. I use abstraction, form, color, texture, light, and shadow to create works that change as the viewer moves, while opening a space for introspection.

My process draws from biological forms, ancient knowledge, hieroglyphs, architecture, and the ways things grow, change, and emerge. I translate these ideas into constructed forms and compositions that balance precision with spontaneity, allowing order and unpredictability to exist together. Whether working on a large wall canvas or at an immersive architectural scale, I create experiences that go beyond simply looking at objects.

We live in a time of extraordinary scientific discovery alongside uncertainty about what we understand and what remains unknown. My work creates a place to pause, look more carefully, and consider our own perception. Ultimately, the work leaves the viewer with a sense of curiosity, discovery, and a deeper awareness of what we see and what may still lie beyond our understanding.
