I am a Los Angeles–based artist and educator whose work explores the shifting relationship between space, perception, and abstraction. Painting has long moved between illusion and material, and in the freedom of a contemporary landscape I am drawn to the intersection of those traditions. I think of paint as a perceptual material. Its layered structures can mimic the complexities of vision, yet under certain conditions it can behave unpredictably, disrupting the logic it initially builds.
Many of my forms come from memory, offering controlled, illusionistic frameworks that I intentionally interrupt. Each painting evolves through a balance of control, unpredictability, and flow, reflecting the unstable nature of seeing: guided by expectation yet shaped by uncertainty.
I am interested in forms of looking that unfold over time. Like fogged windows or fast motion, the surfaces distort and unsettle perception, prompting viewers to question what is constructed and what is real. Through shifting atmospheres, trompe-l’œil fragments, and moments where clarity gives way to ambiguity, the work invites slow attention and meaning that emerges gradually.
