Life in the abstract Artist Statement I walk a delicate line between representation and abstraction, seeking the place where the seen dissolves into the felt. Each work begins with a point of departure, yet its destination remains a mystery, revealed only through the act of making. Color is the heartbeat of my process. Subtle shifts of closely related hues weave together, creating a quiet tension—a harmonious energy that sets the emotional tone. As layers build, the surface begins to speak, guiding me from what I know toward what I discover. The process is a conversation, a dance of presence. Each mark listens to the last and whispers to the next, sometimes asking to stay, sometimes to be erased. This rhythm of watching and responding becomes an intimate dialogue between my hand and the canvas. Inspiration comes unbidden, like a sudden breeze. I do not chase it; I simply stay open, letting it arrive in its own quiet way.
