To me, art has evolved into a purely personal and exploratory interaction with mark-making and materiality while switching between numerous themes and aesthetics. I alternate in my work between exacting artisanal technique and the aesthetics of abstraction because I am fascinated by how the physical characteristics of mediums express a mood, a story, a moment, or even a gesture. Whether it is combining various materials or differing techniques. I place a lot of value on authenticity and mindfulness.
