Collection 1
Extravagant marks of somber and brilliant colors reach across my canvas, capturing motion. Push and pull tones imitate the moving terrain of contemplation and imagination. In my abstractions, landscapes, and portraits, I symbolize the aspects and stories of the soul. I render images of division and unity, between intellect and passion. I also find that sometimes my work can be incomprehensible or “unknowable,” yet familiar, as life’s biggest questions and hurts only have ineffable answers. Through expressive drawing and painting, I dwell on the visceral and supernatural, and our mortal connection to it.1. A New Day Starts in the Dark
In the light, this painting resembles that of dusk, the end of a long day, a reminder to rest. And in the dark, the sky shines and resembles the coming dawn, reminding us that even in the long dark painful nights, the new day is just beginning. Rest, and look onward to the hope of another day to keep going.
