My work grows out of an interest in process and perception, and in the space between abstraction and representation. I’m drawn to images that resist being fixed.

I began as a portrait painter, motivated by an intuitive desire to capture likeness. Over time, that focus shifted toward a more deliberate way of working, with flattened forms and simplified compositions. As my interest in color, form, and concept deepened, abstraction became a natural extension of questions that first emerged through portraiture.

Before focusing fully on painting, I worked as a graphic designer for art institutions. Translating ideas visually and overseeing fine-art reproduction sharpened my sensitivity to scale, color, and precision. I continue to draw from my graphic design background in the studio, using both digital and hands-on methods to conceive and develop my work.

I live and work in Connecticut. My paintings have been exhibited in juried and group exhibitions and are held in private collections.
