I am a creative, and teacher in San Francisco. My practice explores ways human experience is shaped by time and perception. Across mediums, I return to archetypal forms, figures, devotional motifs. Not to impose belief, but to create images that function as sites of witnessing. The work is contemplative in nature, and meant to invite sustained looking rather than immediate interpretation.

My process is intuitive and materially direct. I favor simplified anatomy, repetition, and restrained color to keep the work grounded while allowing complexity to emerge through relationship rather than spectacle. Influences come from my devotion, my teachers, lived experience, philosophy, and psychology. No single framework is definitive.

Art for me is a way of exploring consciousness through creativity. It is ongoing practice of attention.

The images are meant to be lived with, remaining open, unresolved, and quietly active over time.
