Abstract painter. Connecticut & New York.
My paintings begin with repetition but are not about repetition alone. Simple forms accumulate into visual languages that resist translation. Rather than directing the eye toward a single focal point, they encourage viewers to wander, allowing meaning to emerge gradually through rhythm, repetition, and quiet discovery.
I am drawn to places that seem both unknown yet strangely familiar. My paintings suggest worlds suspended between memory and imagination, places that cannot be found on a map, yet feel as though they have always existed. Some resemble fragments of forgotten languages or remnants of distant civilizations; others awaken a quiet sense of recognition without revealing why. They ask to be experienced rather than decoded.
Alongside these paintings are the Petits Swanns, intimate original works on wood cubes and panels that inhabit the space between painting, object, and sculpture. Each is conceived as a complete work, carrying the same visual language, rhythm, and sense of discovery as my larger paintings. Whether displayed individually or gathered together, they invite a quieter, more personal relationship with the work.
My paintings are less about what is seen and more about what is felt. Rather than asking to be understood, they remain intentionally open, allowing each viewer’s unique memories and imagination to complete the work in their own way. Every encounter is personal, no two readings are ever the same.
“That tension between order and chaos, stability and fluidity, drives my process. I call it choreographed chaos: marks made intuitively that gradually resolve into balance.”
Color is intentional and restrained. I favor harmony over contrast, inviting emotional connection without overwhelming the senses.
Repeated motifs offer structure within spontaneity — patterns that feel more like music than mechanics, building meaning through accumulation.
Though rooted in my own history — a childhood shaped by political upheaval — my paintings aren’t just about me. They’re about connection.
I hope viewers find echoes of their own stories in the patterns and rhythms, and the calm within the chaos.
