My work often begins with a particular light, a single color, or the movement of air remembered from a place. These experiences rarely remain as they were; they become intertwined with memory and continue to shift through the process of painting.
My background in graphic design and advertising has shaped how I understand image construction and visual communication. While that discipline remains part of my foundation, painting allows me to move without deciding in advance where an image will lead. I follow what appears on the canvas and respond as the work develops.
I am less concerned with recording what I have seen than with capturing what remains after an experience has passed. A place may stay with me simply as a quality of light or an elusive feeling. By the time it becomes a painting, the original moment has already transformed several times. For me, painting is a way of working through these changes, resulting in a surface that carries the layered traces of observation, memory, and discovery.
