About the Artist
Working in my Pittsburgh, PA studio, I explore the tension between calm and chaos within myself. My art reflects this inner journey, balancing the calm simplicity of minimalism with the intensity of abstract expressionism. Primarily using acrylics on canvas, I create bold, vague, vibrant pieces that capture this dynamic interplay. I strive to uncover tranquility while embracing the complexity and depth of my emotions, translating that experience into visual form. Beyond the studio, my public works extend these explorations into shared spaces, transforming walls and environments into reflections of collective and personal expression.
