My current work investigates subtle energetic bodies and the unseen forces that move through and around us. My practice is guided by a deep curiosity about human perception, extrasensory experience, and our interconnection with nature, shaped by memory, sensation, and subtle energies. I paint energy and consciousness, giving form to interoceptive and extrasensory experience. 

The paintings reflect an interior perspective of life, including thoughts, beliefs, emotions, spirit, and physical sensation. My work engages multiple ways of seeing and knowing, including perceptual, intuitive, somatic, symbolic, visionary, and emotional modes, informed by how I experience and gather information about the world. I draw from scientific, medical, technological, and metaphysical forms of information.

I approach painting as a spiritual practice and a space for exploring the metaphysical dimensions of existence. A near-death experience in 2020 deepened my inquiry into states of consciousness, awareness of the energetic body, and our interconnectedness with nature and one another. Through meditative practices and a form of cross-modal perception often described as synesthesia, emotional, energetic, and sensory information is experienced as color, shape, and movement, which I record through pastel and paint. This perceptual sensitivity functions in my work as a visual language for interior experience, shaping my markmaking, composition, and use of color as I attend to subtle energetic shifts around the body.

Through color, form, and gesture, I map the interconnections between body, spirit, and nature. Imagery in my work emerges from interior and sensory experience through an ongoing dialogue with materials as they stain, float, and solidify into organic forms and positive and negative space. Working on the floor, I flood the canvas with pigments, allowing them to pool, move, and dry as forms surface gradually. Water’s rhythmic patterns flow, layer, and interconnect shapes across the canvas surface. I observe as the paint dries into spontaneous shapes, colors, marks, edges, and spatial relationships, allowing meaning, imagery, and composition to emerge through material interaction. Interpreting these patterns becomes a form of visual scrying. Symbolic imagery surfaces through this process, drawing from subconscious memory and collective consciousness.

My practice weaves materiality and spiritual inquiry, drawing from mystical, metaphysical, and mythological histories, energy healing and visionary practices, and diverse spiritual philosophies. It is informed by modern and historical movements including Abstract Expressionism, Surrealism, Symbolism, Futurism, Fauvism, Orphism, and mystical abstraction. Formally and conceptually, my work is in dialogue with artists such as Hilma af Klint, Leonora Carrington, Dorothea Tanning, Giacomo Balla, Auguste Rodin, Pierre Bonnard, Wassily Kandinsky, and Helen Frankenthaler.

My research interests include neuroaesthetics, scientific imaging processes, metaphysics, art education, and color theory. My work investigates patterns and systems in nature, including anthropomorphized natural forms and metaphysical figures. It explores desire, transformation, transcendence, ecology, and consciousness, and considers psychological experience and the healing potential of art.

I view the canvas as a portal, an unfolding space where connections between the visible and invisible aspects of human experience are explored. The work unfolds through the presence of the viewer, whose perception and embodied experience become part of the exchange. I am interested in how visual experience resonates physically, emotionally, and perceptually.

For me, painting is not a response but a transformative experience. It is an act of self-realization that traces my interior journey and explores the interconnections between body, mind, nature, and cosmos.
