My paintings combine incongruous figures, patterns, and textures into composite bodies. More recent collages extend that process by cutting apart completed paintings and recombining their fragments into new images. Across both, recognizable forms resist fixed identities.

I'm drawn to the gap between what we experience and how we understand it. Grounded in cognitive psychology and mindfulness, I explore how perception, context, and attention transform ambiguity into meaning. My work exploits our tendency to assemble approximate, substituted, and contradictory visual information into coherent wholes.

My experience of queerness — where authority fractures, purpose is self-determined, and inconclusiveness is inevitable — has made me  attuned to reality as something constructed rather than absolute. It has freed me from the expectation that there is a single inherited way to understand myself or the world. I use playful invention as an existential strategy to navigate the joy and ambivalence of queer life.
