Large-Scale Oil Paintings inspired by the New York school tactile use of paint
My art is a vibrant expression of life in motion. As a gestural painter, I explore the space between representation and abstraction. Deeply vested in the language of paint, I find inspiration in the New York City styles pioneered by the Abstract Expressionists.
From Study to Studio: A Creative Process
My artistic journey begins with small color studies, where I gather visual information that includes composition, shape, and color. Back in my studio, I translate these studies into large-scale compositions working from memory. I may create collages from paintings, and vice versa as I discover ways to convey my sensory experience.

Finding Meaning in the Landscape
As the eye connects shapes, I discover multiple perspectives. This disjointedness becomes a metaphor for the dynamic energy of life in motion. My large-scale oil painting explores vibrant multi-sensory experience, reaching beyond surface representation into abstract, expressive painting.
Sharing Stories, Fostering Connection
I aim to share stories, foster connection, and inspire. Living and working near New York City fuels my creativity. My large-scale oil paintings capture the essence of this dynamic environment into abstract figuration art.
