My work explores connection — between people, between bodies and space, and between inner and outer experience. I am interested in how connection can be felt as a form of knowing: intuitive, physical, and not dependent on language.

Working in painting and sculptural forms, I use color, material, and texture to create a sense of presence. Process is central to my practice. I work intuitively, allowing materials to guide the development of each piece rather than working toward a predetermined outcome. Meaning emerges through making.

I came to abstract work through a lifelong engagement with music. I am a professional violinist and music educator, and the experience of listening, improvisation, and embodied attention strongly informs my visual practice. Like music, abstract work allows emotion and understanding to be communicated directly, without explanation or narrative.

My paintings often begin with open mark‑making — charcoal, washes, and layered paint — responding to the surface until a structure begins to assert itself. I am drawn to moments of tension, balance, and release. Finishing a work requires letting go: of early ideas, of attachment, and of judgment, trusting the process to arrive at its own resolution.

Across media, my aim is to create work that invites feeling before interpretation — work that can be experienced intuitively, and known without words.
