Artist Statement

My work explores how color, form, depth, and movement shape the way we experience space. I create sculptural wood reliefs built from flowing paths, layered geometry, unexpected intersections, and bold color. Although abstract, I approach each composition as an environment to explore, allowing the eye to move through, around, and between forms.

My visual language draws from mid-century modern design and retro-futurism, with their bold forms, playful geometry, optimism, and experimentation. I am also influenced by Ingrid Fetell Lee’s work on the aesthetics of joy and how color, movement, abundance, and play can create an immediate sense of delight. These ideas reflect something central to my work: what we see can affect how we feel.

I want the work to offer an experience before it asks for interpretation. I am interested in that moment when something unexpected catches our attention, sparks curiosity, and creates a sense of discovery. Rather than prescribing what a viewer should see or feel, I want the work to leave room for imagination, movement, and joy.
