"In my picture of the world there is a vast outer realm and an equally vast inner realm, between these two stands man, facing now one and now the other" (Jung, Modern Man In Search Of A Soul, 1933).

​

Within my work, I create spaces that reflect the tension between the formidable power of the natural world and the individual's inherent vulnerability. In the face of daunting personal, societal, political, and environmental challenges, I focus my practice on the energetic resonance and repercussions of moving through and within these realities. I employ metaphors of imagined geological and atmospheric upheavals to depict human emotions and sensations through abstract gestures. I am interested in how our internal landscape is affected by the forces of external realities, and how this can manifest visually through the experience of painting. 

​As our external realities become increasingly more hostile, it seems appropriate to conjure forces of nature to reflect the fragile state of our inner worlds. With a predisposition for anxiety, the creation of my work is the imperative externalization of what feels like a fiery rumble that never quiets.
