EDUCATION & BACKGROUND
Having learned and mastered new creative technologies, continuously fine tuning my daily creative habits, and channeling my sense of urgency as a motivator within my process rather than a necessity, I am eager to develop my portfolio and see how it will grow.

MEDIUMS & STYLE
I have worked in a variety of mediums over the years but the one consistent thread has been my gravitation toward abstract, geometric, and bold color forms. Inevitably influenced by my parents who own their own architecture firm, I am constantly looking at line, structure, and shapes as a source of foundation, support and influence within my compositions. Non-representational in nature, my work often focuses on the formalist elements first with the conceptual background of those decisions serving as a bonus nugget of intrigue for the viewer as this dive further into each series.
MEDIUM & PROCESS: STRUCTURED & ORGANIC EXPLORATIONS
Logistically, I am constantly pulled between utilizing modern technology as a tool in art production and the meditative process that can be found when disconnecting from “the screen” and diving into a more tactile, traditional, creative practice.
My sketches typically begin with grid or dot paper, rulers, a compass, various drafting tools, and a bold black sharpie. Although a preconceived composition is rarely envisioned, the exploration of basic design concepts drives this practice, with tight structure being and the forefront of the process.
In contrast, my process of color exploration is done in a strictly organic, non-structured way. Manipulating acrylic paint, building thin layers upon each other with pallet knives, and making strictly reactive choices to move forward, this process challenges my eye and my ability to release control of the medium.
