My paintings are evidence of a tender touch and the finite relationship that I hold with physical paint, allowing the method of wet-on-wet to create a sensual, singular image where the figural takes form. This approach translates the fluid intimacy of the bodily experience, archiving each painting as a temporary, fleeting moment in time. Each work settles into a quiet breath of its own while also unabashedly indulging in its newly formed sensuality.
