My practice is rooted in somatic abstraction - an intuitive dialogue between nature and self. I invite environment to inform sensation, and sensation to guide form. 

 

Working primarily with graphite, watercolor, ink and digital media, each drawing begins in a state of flux: pigment sprinkled across paper, blended with mineral and water, gestures made without agenda. From this fertile disorder, forms gradually surface — revealed through erosion rather than constructed through control.

 

I respond intuitively, introducing textures informed by sediment, shifting light, weathered surfaces and the liminal space between the anatomical and the geological. The resulting works suggest internal terrains — part body, part landscape — where structures and fluidity coexist. 

 

Central to my process is the phenomenon of pareidolia: the mind’s search for meaning within ambiguity. The drawings function asa perceptual thresholds where memory, subconscious imagery and environmental influence converge. Meaning is not imposed, but discovered through sustained attention. 

 

I am drawn to subtleties that often escape immediate notice — the grain of wood, the rhythm of water against stone, the gradual choreography of light across surface. These quiet details carry emotional resonance and ecological memory. Through layered mark-making and atmospheric depth, I aim to translate those ephemeral qualities into contemplation works that hold both the energy of landscape and the trace of embodied presence.

 

Rather than depicting place, I seek to embody experience — allowing each drawing to become a quiet cavity of attention, receptive to what emerges, and leaving behind a subtle record of having listened.
