About Me

 

I’m a mixed-media artist who is drawn to organic shapes, lines, and the innate marks that emerge through my process. My work explores the relationships among these elements—and the fascinating ways they interact, shift, and create a sense of balance, tension, and emotion.

I am particularly inspired by the colors, marks, and patterns found in early African art, and see that influence in much of my work.

My process is intuitive and tactile. I build my paintings through layers of acrylic paint, charcoal, and graphite, often incorporating hand-painted collage, textiles, and organic materials such as banana plank and papyrus papers. I work on a variety of substrates, including panel, canvas, and paper.

Ultimately, I aim to create paintings that evoke something deeply felt rather than understood. That, to me, is the magic of abstract art.

Currently, I work from my studio (#340) at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, VA where I’m also able to display many of my pieces.
