My work begins in drawing as a way to slow down and pay close attention to presence, gesture, and mood. Figures often start with people I know or remember, but the work moves away from portraiture. Instead, I use real and composited bodies to give form to fragments of thought, feeling, and memory. These figures often carry a baroque, melancholic tone and reflect on what it means to exist over time.

I work between clarity and uncertainty, leaving traces of revision and hesitation visible so meaning can unfold rather than be fixed. Much of my recent work is part of an ongoing project titled POP, which draws from everyday visual culture, including animation, sequential imagery, and mediated ways of seeing. Filtered through memory and experience, this work considers how familiar visual systems repeat, circulate, and shape perception.
