STATEMENT 

For three decades, I have explored the space where painting, sculpture, and installation meet. I create three-dimensional shaped canvases, two-dimensional paintings, and immersive installations that extend imagery into physical space. Through abstraction, form, color, texture, light, and shadow, I create works that shift as the viewer moves, opening a space for mystery and introspection.

My process draws from cosmic and 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 coexist. Whether working on a large wall canvas or at an immersive architectural scale, I create experiences that extend beyond the picture plane.

We live in a time of extraordinary scientific discovery, alongside a growing awareness of how much remains unknown. My practice creates a place to pause, look more carefully, and consider how we perceive the world around us. The work offers a sense of peace and well-being, while leaving the viewer with a feeling of curiosity and discovery.
