MY STORY 

I’m a self-taught contemporary abstract artist creating vibrant mixed media paintings and altered cyanotypes—a unique camera-less photographic process. Rooted in collaboration with nature, my work radiates energy, fluid motion, and luminous depth. 

I’m drawn to quiet and serenity—it’s within that stillness that I give each artwork the thoughtful attention it deserves. 

I’m inspired by the flow of pigment, the richness of layered textures, and the meditative power of brushstrokes. My influences are many, but lately they include Asian water-ink traditions and the Japanese art of kintsugi, which celebrates the beauty in broken, imperfect and organic forms. You’ll often find delicate gold leaf or hand-drawn gold lines in my work—a quiet nod to this philosophy.

I also incorporate collage elements from my travels throughout the world—cultural ephemera that connect the artwork to the wider world. Lately, I’ve been exploring acrylic on raw canvas, inspired by 20th Century abstract artist Helen Frankenthaler and her soak stain technique. It’s a slow, immersive process that deepens my connection to each piece.

Recurring themes in my work—mist, glow, translucence, and layered light—echo my love for the ocean and the quiet awe it inspires.
