EVENING WALK IN LAKE OSWEGO Painting

I am a contemporary abstract painter based in the United States, working primarily with acrylic and oil on canvas. My practice is rooted in exploring memory, emotion, and the spaces between what is seen and what is felt. Each painting begins without a fixed plan — I layer, scrape, and uncover forms intuitively, allowing the work to evolve much like the shifting nature of memory itself. My paintings often center around contrasts: darkness and light, chaos and stillness, fragility and strength. Through layered textures, bold marks, and unexpected bursts of color, I invite viewers to encounter both the hidden and the revealed — the silences and the noise that shape our inner landscapes. I see my work as an ongoing conversation between control and release. The process is as important as the final image, carrying the trace of each decision, erasure, and re-emergence. For collectors, my paintings offer not only a visual statement but also an emotional presence — a quiet intensity that continues to unfold over time.
