I’m not interested in making work that feels comfortable or predictable. I’m trying to push myself into the places I haven’t figured out yet—to make something that feels lived, exposed, and unmistakably mine.

What if you stopped trying to explain everything?

Sometimes art isn’t about finding the answer.
It’s about sitting with what you feel.

I’m learning to let the work exist without explaining it.

Just existing.
No performance. No explanation. No need to be anything other than where I am today.

“Every mark has a purpose.”

“Watch the drawing come to life, one mark at a time. I work slowly with charcoal and pencil, letting the image reveal itself. For me, the process is just as important as the finished drawing.”#

From the wall of ideas to the drawing on the table. This is part of my process.

I don’t think an artist can separate the work completely from the life they’re living.

I’m always interested in that moment when a drawing starts saying something back to you.
