Froelick Gallery, Flash of Beauty, Portland, Oregon, 2025
My paintings explore the threshold between abstraction and landscape, memory and place, the visible and the unseen. Working through successive translucent oil glazes, I build each painting slowly, allowing light, atmosphere, and form to emerge over time. Geometric structures, traces of landscape, and intuitive mark-making surface and dissolve throughout the process, creating spaces that invite contemplation and quiet discovery. Rather than beginning with a predetermined image, I approach each painting as an unfolding conversation between intuition, material, and presence, trusting the process to reveal what cannot be planned.
In addition to my studio practice, I mentor artists and lead workshops exploring creativity, contemplative practice, and the development of an authentic artistic voice.
