Artist Statement

Abstract art is a deeply personal experience. It does not tell you what to see, but instead invites you to feel. We bring to it our own lives, our own moments, and in doing so, we find something uniquely ours. My work is not about explaining—it is about being. It is about honoring my time on this earth, listening to the world around me, and giving form to the unseen forces that move through all of us.

There is a rhythm to painting, a conversation between color and form. I let my hands follow that rhythm, shaping space and light as I go. I work with the land, with the sky, with memory, with feeling. What emerges is not just an image but an echo—a presence, something you know but cannot name. Art is not separate from life; it is life, distilled onto canvas.

When I paint, I am searching for essence. I want to capture the way light shifts, the way space expands, the way something small can feel infinite. My paintings are not statements; they are invitations—portals to something beyond words. They ask you to look, to sit with them, to let them speak to you in a language deeper than thought.

The titles of my paintings are not explanations, but gentle markers—ways to enter, if you need them. But the true meaning is yours to find. I have always believed that art is not about what I put into it, but what you bring to it. We are all human, moving through this world with joy, longing, loss, and wonder. And in that, we are never alone.

If my paintings do anything, I hope they help you listen—to yourself, to your dreams, to that quiet knowing inside you. Art has the power to connect, to remind us of who we are and who we might become. It is a space for truth, for courage, for beauty. It is a way of being fully alive.
