A collection of abstract paintings created in oil and cold wax that reflect an ongoing fascination with layering, texture, and the tension between control and letting go.

I am a multidisciplinary artist with a passion for painting, metalsmithing, and photography—and a lifelong rock hound. My work grew from an early plein air practice in acrylic and oil, where responding to shifting light and landscape led me toward a more intuitive, abstract language shaped by nature's details—the web of a spider, reflections in a flowing stream, or lichen spreading across a sunlit rock.
In my studio, I build layered surfaces using oil and cold wax—applying, scraping back, and rebuilding—allowing each painting to evolve through discovery rather than a predetermined outcome. My process is guided by intuition and a deep responsiveness to what unfolds on the surface.
My abstract paintings are a fusion of experimentation and emotion. Through the interplay of color, shape, mark-making, and texture, I create a visual language that evokes a sense of calm, joy, and, at times, mystery.
"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see." — Edgar Degas
