Each abstract painting of mine explores emotion through its layers and expressive colorful shape-based elements. Grids, aerial like views, and loops are gestures that appear regularly in my art as they help me visually create structures and spaces that represent places, memories, or experiences that are difficult to express with words. Watercolor is my primary medium because I am drawn to its soft and engaging quality. I like to work on paper, but will also paint on canvas, and incorporate ink, acrylic, gouache, collage, or graphite into my art to experiment and add texture.
