About
I am a contemporary abstract painter based in Boulder, Colorado.
I began my studies in fine art before pursuing International Affairs and living in Paris for eleven years. After returning to the United States, I stepped away from painting for nearly two decades before resuming my practice with renewed focus.
I work in medium- to large-format acrylic paintings built through repeated cycles of layering, glazing, and removal. The paintings develop slowly through processes that accumulate, interrupt, and partially erase the surface, leaving visible traces of construction and revision.
My work is structured around the friction between spatial constraint and sudden interruption. I work primarily with high-saturation crimsons and electric blues, using color and gestural breaks as organizing forces within the field. Color operates as both emotion and structure.
I am drawn to moments when pressure builds and then ruptures, when something fractures but does not collapse. Each painting holds a state of suspended resolution. This body of work represents both a return and a refinement, deepening my commitment to holding tension within the surface without resolving it too quickly.
I live and work in Boulder, Colorado with my family and our dog, Muffin.
