I am a multidisciplinary non-representational artist based in New York City, with roots in the San Francisco Bay Area, San Diego, and Kona, Hawaii. 

I work with stretched and unstretched canvas, fabric, paper, string, wood, and metal, infusing or applying paint to many of the surfaces. My process often involves tearing, cutting, and reassembling these materials through gluing and stitching.

By embracing spontaneity over logic and saying yes to impulse, I create dynamic, textural compositions. The act of surprising myself with the worlds that emerge from the brushstrokes, the gouging of tools, the interplay of colors, and the convergence of edges brings me profound satisfaction. This unpredictable journey of creation lies at the core of my artistic practice.

To quote Jack Whitten describing artists, “We make something out of who we are”. And I will add, “and then we share”. I offer this work from my eyes to yours.
