My large-scale paintings evoke the emotional residue of remembered places while resisting literal representation. Working intuitively using a deliberately-restrained range of pigments, poured gravitational flows, and gestural mark making, I paint immersive fields of color where places and moments are memorialized in atmosphere, light, temperature, and tone.

I start each painting with a singular chromatic intention, rather than a predetermined composition. My goal: a color to be felt,  not an image to be remembered. Believing that color can carry us somewhere representation cannot, I prioritize the color experience over imagery. By removing form, I quiet the visual noise.

Working in both gestural abstraction and color field, I allow each composition to unfold through a balance of intuition and surrender. I manifest a nuanced color experience by embracing a wide range of media and dimensional layering, building thin veils of translucent, hand-mixed pigments, layer by layer, through successive pours and interventions to create a surface with subtle depth, luminosity, and light reflectivity.

Rather than documenting specific locations, I explore the distant, time-worn impression of having occupied them. Vague landscape references dissolve into what I hope is an openly contemplative experience. Scale plays an essential role in this encounter, drawing each viewer beyond observation into immersion, where color can be felt as much as it is seen. Here, color becomes not merely an element of painting but its central experience, where viewers can linger in quiet moments of presence, reflection, and emotional resonance.
