Artist Statement
Where image becomes a way of listening
My work arises from an ongoing inquiry into the spaces where inner life and outer form meet — where pattern, image, and memory shape how we see and are seen. I am drawn to the tangled terrains of psyche and place, to the textures that crystalize in quiet attention, and to the patterns that recur in dreams, landscape, and made mark.
Through printmaking, surface becomes metaphor; texture becomes a trace of what is felt but not yet named. I attend to image not as illustration, but as emerging language — a way of thinking through form rather than about it. I am interested in the active space between viewer and work, where meaning is not fixed but invited.
Natural and built landscapes, mythic cadence, and material resonance all inform my process. Each piece is an attempt to encounter what lies beneath habitual perception — to slow down, to witness, and to feel the invisible threads that connect inner life with embodied form.
This is not decoration, nor narrative assertion. It is an invitation: to look longer, to feel more deeply, and to allow the work to reflect back not what you already know, but what you have forgotten you know.
My work begins with looking, and continues wherever curiosity leads.
