The Joy of my art

  • Each piece is made in the moment — and is never repeated.

    My drawings are created entirely in real time, with no pre-planning. They’re one-of-a-kind records of presence — shaped by feeling, memory, and movement. What you see is a singular encounter that can’t be recreated.

  • Color and line are used like emotion — not decoration.

    I choose color and build marks based on what moves me emotionally, not what looks right. Each drawing is made to feel — to speak to the nervous system in a way that’s quiet, resonant, and real.

  • The work lives in the in-between — and keeps unfolding.

    Somewhere between abstraction and memory, between what you see and what you sense — that’s where these pieces live. The meaning shifts as you do, offering space to pause, feel, and return.
