I am an abstract artist living and working in Northern California. Largely self-taught, my path into the art world was anything but conventional, shaped by years moving between applied arts and visual expression.

Over the past two decades, my work has evolved through a close, physical engagement with material and process. As technology began to shift how art was made, I felt compelled to slow things down, to return to fundamental materials like paper, paint, water, and gypsum. By simplifying my approach, abstraction became less about image and more about action, reaction, restraint, and reveal.

This inquiry led to the Surface Tension, Chroma, and G+P series. Each body of work is driven by organic processes using minimal materials and forces such as pressure, friction, gravity, and excavation. What remains after the process is what matters most.

Alongside my studio practice, I teach the principles of Abstraction by Design (AbD) through workshops and private mentoring. Teaching over the past seven years has deepened my work and reinforced my belief in creative community, shared inquiry, and collaboration.
