I’m a figuratively abstract painter. My recent body of work traces the paths of ghosts and ethereal figures through West Texas landscapes to weave stories from the perspective of my inner landscape. The paintings are visually expressive, created with an intensity of feeling and movement. They’re built with layers of brushed and scraped paint, and scavenged materials cut and collaged into the painted surface. My work focuses on how loss reshapes you, how we reframe the idea of home throughout our lives and how past trauma can be cultivated into strength and beauty.
