Artist Statement

My paintings explore the relationship between individuals and their lived experiences with love, healing, and transformation. Under the abstract expressionist style, I am able to create complex mixtures of strikingly colorful surfaces that tell a greater story. My artwork aims to convey that people are infinitely enhanced by what they have witnessed and learned to overcome.

The journey of art-making has given me the opportunity to infuse my work and knowledge as a psychologist into my creative style. Painting is my form of meditative practice and how I maintain a sense of balance. I want to share my work with individuals who also believe that art has the ability to heal invisible wounds of the heart, mind, and soul.

Similarly, my approach with photography is driven by my contemplative interest in people and their experiences. I enjoy capturing the fleeting, in-between moments with people and their interactions with life.
