Bold abstract work rooted in memory, ancestry, and everyday life.

Most of the time, I’m just following a feeling. My work begins with instinct, emotion, and lived experience. I don’t always know what a piece means when I start.

The meaning shows up later—when I can finally see what I’ve been carrying.

This is a look into my work, my story, and the people behind it.

The work

Pieces I’ve been sitting with

Every piece starts the same way—no plan, just movement.

Shapes, color, and instinct. Then something clicks, and I realize what it’s really about.

Short Film

Through the Eyes of Me

I had a chance to share the story behind my work in person, but that same night my son had a band concert.

So I made this film instead.

Process

I don’t force meaning

I work in layers—color, shape, movement.

Three birds show up a lot. That’s my kids… including one we lost to miscarriage.

Faces come through too. That’s family. Ancestors. People still with me in a different way.

Nothing is placed by accident, even if I don’t understand it right away.

If it speaks to you

Then it was meant to.

Take your time. Look around. Everything here comes from a real place.
