About

I am a San Francisco–based painter. i work with color, gesture, texture, and movement to build surfaces that feel alive and constantly changing. I am less interested in describing a specific subject than in seeing how a painting can create a feeling through its physical presence.

Some of my paintings begin with an image or a suggestion of the figure or objects, while others develop through pure abstraction. In both, the subject is secondary. What matters most to me is the paint itself—how it moves, accumulates, breaks apart, and creates tension between control and accident.

I often work and rework a painting, allowing earlier marks to remain visible beneath new ones. The process is intuitive and physical. I want the finished painting to retain some evidence of that evolution and movement.

For me, a painting is never completely fixed. More importantly, I don’t want to tell the viewer what to see. I want the painting to stay open, so each person can find their own way into it.
