Abstract Expressionist Painter 

Outside Looking In

This series is about embracing where I am - particularly Minneapolis, MN. These paintings represent fleeting moments of color & movement found in the water and nature that surrounds me.

My Roots Run Deep

A recent move to a new city inspired this new series. I've been reflecting on who I am, how I was raised...my roots. When I'm quiet and looking for comfort, I retreat home, the place I know best.

Excited to share that my painting "Beautiful Distraction" was selected to hang in an exhibition sponsored by Art Angels of Minneapolis.

Artist's Statement

Abstract painting, to me, is breaking down a thought or idea to its core, where the subject is gone and you build it back together, changing it, making it take on a whole new perspective. 

 

My process is a balance between chaos and calm. My paintings begin with chaos and slowly become organized and intentional. After establishing a color palette, I paint intuitively, without a plan or any idea of where the painting will take me. This is the best part, each painting takes on a new story. It’s often a struggle to make it feel cohesive and successful, but the challenge is what I crave and keeps me going back to my studio every day.
