Welcome
Working in a gestural and abstract style, I investigate humankind’s evolving relationship to nature, where an impulse to shape, tame and control the natural world lives alongside a desire to yield to its wildness and danger.
At close range, the paintings are constructed from the textures of nature – rock, foliage, air, and water, appear nearly abstract – a dancing network of innumerable brushstrokes.
When painting I strive for unconscious creation; embracing the notion that the image is painting itself through me and that I am collaborating in something that is greater than myself. There is an element of unknowing and of surrender into possibilities that are beyond my control.
