"In my work, I explore the connection between external landscapes and our internal selves. Through shifting and undulating atmospheres, my paintings evoke both familiarity and surrealism, blurring the line between the internal and external. Inspired by the cyclical patterns of nature, my work examines the mirroring of landscapes with human experiences. These cycles of the natural world, such as erosion, succession, and metamorphosis, inspire the visual movement of the piece and illuminate the ways our natural environments can inform our internal and emotional experiences. Forms reminiscent of bones, mountains, and stone vacillate between being hard and soft, fluid and rigid. This process reveals patterns and repeating compositions in my work as if each painting is a fragment of one landscape slowly being revealed. To me, painting is a way of understanding the world outside and within myself. As an ode to these external and internal spaces, my paintings are an invitation to explore the connection between nature, spirituality, memory and emotion."
