  • I'm an abstract painter & mixed-media artist working primarily in acrylic, digital art & encaustic. I’ve exhibited nationally & my works are in private & permanent gallery collections.

    My paintings layer free-form markings with structured shapes & merge carefully personalized palettes with spontaneous color selections. My approach is to minimize planned decisions, leaning into chance & intuition toward transferring a charged, dynamic energy. My digital & mixed-media pieces incorporate conceptual & industrial imagery with graphics. I explore printing on various substrates & often add layers of encaustic to my prints.

    My experience in the Fine Arts industry includes work as an in-house studio artist for both The Metropolitan Museum & Christie’s Auction House, and as a research assistant for a corporate art consultant. Direct, hands-on exposure to such a wide range of art – from antiquity to contemporary – has been an invaluable addition to my fine art education & influential to my creative drive. My visual & conceptual references often relate to interactions, memories & experiences I’ve had living in diverse communities across the US – including NYC, SF Bay, Scranton & Raleigh/Durham. I have a BFA in Illustration & have created digital art for clients including Apple, Google & global advertising agencies.
