As a process-based artist inspired by macro and micro visions of Earth’s surface, I explore the layering of color, and manipulation of paint, to achieve sculptural-like results that droop, ripple, crack and pool off of the surface. Using color as the raw material, I navigate the line between painting and sculpture.

Exploring color as a communicator of energy and stored personal information, I engage with specific environments to ignite color visions and inform my layering process. My entire body is activated while pouring thick layers of latex paint or colorful veils of spray paint. In order to unveil each color's signature effect, I further engage the elements of wind, water, heat and gravity. Each color has a different textural characteristic which is revealed over a series of days or weeks as the painting is manipulated with the elements.

The past year marked a shift in my process with the emergence of NFT’s. This opened the door for collaboration with 3D digital artists to make my artwork come alive as animated paintings. The results have propagated back into my physical process, shifting my color, compositions, and layering techniques.
