Simultaneously hovering between serenity and chaos, my paintings portray movement and the interaction of forms within a space as a starting point, yet this subject matter is often an excuse to explore the physicality of paint itself.

Nature gets put through a blender as aspects of Japanese prints, Asian scroll paintings, and a Zen aesthetic merge with ambiguous surroundings, mutate into intense colorful bursts, or dissipate and fade away. I bring out the details of amorphous light and weather phenomena, which transform into exploding microcosmic organisms, grasses drifting underwater or celestial collisions. Nebulous forms mutate into intense bursts or dissipate and fade away, often leaving a colorful trail that results in a vivid afterimage. Frozen in time at various states of being they remain viable metaphors for memory and motion. Ultimately what they reveal is not a specific place as much as a moment or a constellation of moments.
