"I am interested in what remains after a landscape has passed through a human consciousness — not the place itself, but its residue."

My practice begins with sustained observation. Hours spent in a single location, watching the way shadow crosses stone, the way late afternoon flattens distance into ochre and grey. The studio becomes a place of translation — where sensation becomes material, and material becomes something that can be carried between people.

Working primarily in oil and monotype, I am drawn to surfaces that retain evidence of process. The scrape, the over-painting, the ghost of an earlier mark — these are not accidents to be hidden but conversations between intention and time.
