Dissonance Painting

I am endlessly inspired by the regular. The mundane. The things we deem boring. The events we've witnessed a million times. There is so much to be unpacked in it all, and that's where my art begins: the every day. I intentionally absorb life, stories, and experiences in and out of my own normal days, and subconsciously watch them unfold onto the canvas. My paintings are playful and dynamic, moody and uncertain. They are subtle and dreamy, moving in and out of visibility. The language spoken is of the complex patterns, forms, and fractals contained in all the regular things around us. I am interested in creating ethereal spaces that feel familiar and yet completely otherworldly, using the richness of layering and the relationship between line and paint to ask questions of peace, stillness, and the depths of it all. Even in the most ordinary, always seeking the extraordinary. There is beauty all around us. May we dare to breathe it into our most normal and regular lives.
