For those who never tire of looking

Before becoming a full-time artist, I spent many years in the corporate creative world. I witnessed firsthand how digital technologies transformed the way we work, accelerating output and efficiency in remarkable ways. At the same time, I found myself increasingly drawn to the slower qualities that technology cannot replicate—curiosity, intuition, material exploration, and the simple act of paying attention.  Over time, I found myself drawn to the kinds of experiences that could not be digitized—working with materials, following intuition, and allowing ideas to unfold slowly.

I began as a figure painter, drawn to gesture, movement, and the irregularities that make something feel alive. The curves of the body, like patterns found throughout nature, seemed to possess a rhythm that was both structured and unpredictable. Over time, I started noticing those same rhythms in flowers reaching toward light, in branching river systems, in erosion patterns, and in the movement of wind across a landscape. The body and the natural world no longer felt separate to me. They seemed to speak the same visual language.

My work as a contemporary abstract painter is rooted in the belief that nature has much to teach us. In a world increasingly shaped by digital systems and artificial realities, I find myself returning to the natural world as a source of clarity, balance, and perspective. Nature does not optimize, yet it continually adapts and evolves.

That realization gradually shifted my practice away from representation and toward abstraction, where I could explore these patterns more freely. Today, I create nature-inspired abstract paintings and mixed media artwork that explore the rhythms, systems, and forms found in the natural world. I am interested in the tension between order and spontaneity, structure and imperfection, and the way complexity can emerge from simple forms. Working with acrylic paint, graphite, charcoal, and hand-stitched fiber, I build textured abstract paintings through accumulation, removal, and revision.

I hold an MBA from the University of Michigan and completed the Painting Certificate program at Rhode Island School of Design. My work has been exhibited in New York City, Los Angeles, London, at the Naples Art Institute, and at the Visual Arts Center in Bonita Springs, Florida.  It can be found in both personal and commercial spaces in the U.S. and Europe.
