At its core, my work is an attempt to understand location and place through mapping, memory and story. Using a push and pull of painted planes, intricate line work, and layered shapes, each painting becomes a convoluted and futile retelling of a simple story.

My work leans into the impossibility of fully sharing stories by highlighting moments we tend to forget, ones that blend together, and the others that pass us by.

I aim to present the viewer with a map of both past and present, a landscape that is fading and forming. The acrylic underpaintings are lost to a thick impasto layer of oil only to be uncovered again with a carved network of documented and recalled shapes.
