Artist’s Statement 

I've never been great at explaining my paintings in words – they start somewhere past that.

I build surfaces through raw gesture, commanding color and marks made under pressure – I fight between instinct and intention and let it play out on the canvas.  Nothing is precious.  I bury it, tear into it, come back harder until something real breaks through.

Color is force.  Fire against darkness. Impact over elegance.  Stillness in velocity.  Every decision is physical, every layer a scar or a scar covered over.

The figure haunts my work – not polished or posed, but caught mid-dissolution, energy escaping form.  That’s the moment I’m after.  The edge where control gives out.

I'm not decorating anything – I'm creating something, out of everything I know how to do, what I learn and everything I've lived.  What's left on the canvas is mine, and it’s there for you.
