Archival marker on paper. Collage

My process is instinctive, allowing my subconscious to guide what emerges on paper, canvas, or collage. Works often reveal their meaning as they near resolution. This intuitive approach drives exploration of diverse themes: archetypes, non-permanence, our relationships to each other and the divine, fear, grief, and non-duality. Yet I make no declaration as to meaning, preferring to leave it subjective—a dialogue between the work and the viewer. I work primarily with markers, ink, acrylics, and collage, frequently incorporating found or repurposed objects. By transforming what would otherwise be waste into art, I physically embed the concept of transition into the work itself.
