About Me
Bio
I am a self-taught painter from Colorado Springs, working mainly in oil and acrylic mediums. I have been making art in many forms since childhood, and abstract painting has been my focus since 2015.
As an abstract painter, I’m interested in the internal world, and how it can be expressed in visual form. I seek to make peace with unknowing and uncertainty, both in my everyday life and within the process of painting.
My work is exploratory and meditative. I paint intuitively, using oil and acrylic paint and gestural marks, employing varying thicknesses of paint and many layers. To form a composition, each mark made informs the next in an intuitive evolution of shape and texture making.
A composition feels successful when I can create organic abstract forms based on ideas that language doesn’t cover, yet somehow feel familiar.
