I have been practicing art throughout my life, always drawn to the interplay of detail and design. The creation of patterns has become a central theme in my recent work. As someone who naturally listens more than speaks, I find that my ability to observe is reflected in the intricate details in my paintings by creating patterns as a form of meditation for me. This focus on my observation has become a main element, allowing me to translate the complexities of the world into visual expression . Through this ritual i tend to map the quiet distance found within the familiar.
