Artist statement
“I’m always looking for a kind of quietness, harmony and a certain levity when
making my works. It’s the accidental beauty in nature that really captivates
me. When this occurs it’s a duty in us to stop, for us to be still, for us to move
to the side and simply attend. Not to consume and grasp but to allow some
enchantment to happen. A shifting shadow, a play of light can be needlessly
beautiful and continuously revealing if one takes the time to be in an ever
changing moment.”

I marry method with meaning by handcrafting each of my works using
precise, reductivist techniques. My finished works—shaped, minimal
canvases designed to hang on a wall—occupy a liminal zone between
traditional painting and sculpture.
