About

 I work in layers—of wax, of pigment, of memory.

Each piece begins as a quiet conversation between material and emotion. Prismacolor pencil meets encaustic wax, cold wax cradles color, and together they hold the tension between what is hidden and what insists on being seen. My figures emerge slowly, shaped as much by silence as by form, drawn from the places where the body remembers what the mind forgets.

As both an architect and a landscape architect, I am drawn to the way space holds feeling—the way a line can shelter, a surface can echo, a boundary can breathe. That sensitivity lives in my art, where human forms become landscapes, and landscapes become maps of the interior.

I create to navigate memory, vulnerability, and transformation. To build spaces that aren’t physical—but are deeply felt. Spaces where something tender might rise to the surface, shimmer in the wax, and finally, find light.

I chose to create the paintings in shades of grey for a couple of reasons. I wanted to strip away the color and reveal the raw emotion of two people coming together. Life and human interaction is often many shades of grey.

The art is created on handmade mulberry paper with prisma-color colored pencils. The pieces are then sealed in wax.
