Statement

I am creating an ongoing series of oil paintings on paper exploring the interconnectedness of ecosystems and the human body. My inspiration for this series draws inspiration from the phrase “Sea Change”. The images in my older and new work spring from my sketchbook and are shaped by dreams, poetry, emotions, music, nature, and science. I am captivated by both the mystical essence and the scientific truth that this concept embodies.

Transparent layers of diluted colors and overlapping forms of biomorphic shapes create abstract and spontaneous paintings in this series. When painting, I organize a visual language using colors, stacking shapes that negate and influence each other. The paintings’ vertical portrait format, evoke movement, tension, and the emotional experience of sinking beneath the ocean’s surface and colliding into a world of fluorescent marine life and flora.
