Everything in the studio carries potential. I build my work through return, layering, cutting, stitching, and peeling back. Some decisions stay; others are buried, obscured, or undone. I'm drawn to the tension between structure and disruption, and to how a surface might tilt, stretch, or resist. These pieces straddle painting and sculpture, pushing off the wall, hovering in space, and holding a kind of suspended energy.
My background in gymnastics taught me rhythm and risk. I bring that same energy into the studio, testing, adjusting, trying again. What I'm chasing isn't a clear image but a liveliness that feels physical, flickering, and impossible to hold still.
Materials like raw canvas, plaster, plexiglass, athletic tape, and sticks offer shifts in texture, weight, and responsiveness. They invite sensations not immediately nameable but felt first in the body. Like when a laugh bursts free, cheeks flush pink, or the heart skips a beat.
