Current Body of Work

A search for balance between control and chaos, silence and expression.

Return to Red is an ongoing body of work exploring attention, emotional balance, and the space between control and surrender.

Through layered gestures, repetition, erasure, and accumulation, the paintings investigate how abstraction can become a site of presence rather than representation.
