Created by soaking and freezing the paper, then skating through paint across its surface, this work emerged through a process that initially felt counterintuitive. I was entering a space that challenged the traditional flow and rules of painting, allowing movement, chance, and physical memory to guide the work rather than a predetermined image. Using the me...

It reflects themes of emotional release, memory, and inner tension, exploring the relationship between control and spontaneity, silence and declaration.

This painting is a portrait of a friend, but more than that, it’s a record of a moment when everything changed and we chose to move anyway. In 2019, he called me with an idea for a show, nothing formal. Then the world paused. When the pandemic hit, the call came again, this time with urgency. Boston galleries were empty, and there was an open invitation:...

This painting depicts my friend, someone I once sold shoes with at a mall on the North Shore of Massachusetts. Back then, neither of us could have imagined where life would take her next. What started for her as a simple desire to keep three small balls in the air opened a hidden door. Juggling led to spinning plates, blowing harmonicas, and eventually to c...

To me, femininity is the universal source of creativity. In this painting an open window is the backdrop to a room filled with random objects, contrasting a linear feminine quality with masculine angularity via a fragmented negative and positive space. The blending of domestic objects with symbolic mechanical forms creates an atmosphere which explores the v...

What does "assimilation" mean to you? Is it about shedding old selves and fitting into a new mold entirely? Or does a successfully assimilated community maintain all of the differences it's presented with and find power in many perspectives?

What happens when birdsong gets mapped in 3D and then built by hand? This large-scale mixed media artwork was inspired by a system developed by Lucio Arese of visualizing birdsong as 3D geometry. The moment I saw those abstract, structured forms I had to play with the concept as something you could feel. Layered with acrylic paint, papyrus, crushed glass, w...

This painting represents another colorful feeling of inner graffiti from the unconscious, showing a reflection of the past and present, maybe the future.
