Artist Statement

I am a self-taught multidisciplinary artist based in Atlanta, GA. My artistic practice is a search for freedom and meaning - personal, spiritual, and collective. I’m interested in how the physical and spiritual worlds inform each other, and how that relationship can help us find liberation from the systems and ideas that keep us small; whether political, social, or internal. Much of my work looks at play and curiosity as tools of resistance and I believe our inner child holds the key to freedom; the part of us that still knows how to explore, ask questions, and break rules. By reconnecting with that sense of wonder, I want to remind us of the light we were born with and the power that comes from remembering it.

In my paintings, I build light, layered surfaces that form cloud-like images that create a visual language for spirit and unseen energy. The process is slow and meditative, guided by feeling and repetition. Recently, I’ve been blending these atmospheric scenes with abstracted figures inspired by Renaissance and Baroque compositions, creating a tension between body and divinity. My three-dimensional work moves differently; it’s more structural and raw, using wood as a metaphor for strength through adaptability. I treat it like architecture — precise yet intuitive — often creating functional art that bridges design and sculpture.

My work has been shown throughout Atlanta, including the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, and most recently in my solo exhibition, A Sense of Home in a Foreign Place. It is also held in private collections across the United States and internationally..
