Artist Statement

I find inspiration from my home ruled by tides, Florida, where I grew up and attended the University of Miami. My interests in Ecology and Architecture influence my work as I dissect the paradox of grief and worship I have witnessed in communities amid the aftermath of environmental disasters, specifically hurricanes and those involving water. My paintings are expressive in their restraint. My process involves layering paint and tape, amounting to sensations of being atmospherically engulfed. I work intuitively, meditating on stages of grief.
