Still life: My paintings reimagine the still life tradition through a contemporary lens, creating layered worlds where time, memory, and material collide. I construct these scenes with objects drawn from daily life—my children’s toys, toxic art materials, and ceramics by other artists—inviting the viewer to explore the image like an archaeological site. Memento mori motifs weave through the work, reminding us of impermanence. Oil Landscapes: The compositions draw on the landscape tradition, yet reduce landforms to simplified, collage-like shapes that hover between abstraction and representation. Though rooted in observations of local environments, the scenes are deliberately ambiguous—evoking both familiar terrain and distant, imagined geographies. By emphasizing calmness, silence, and spatial openness, the paintings invite contemplative engagement and suggest a meditative approach to the act of seeing.
