A painter and draftsman, I work in representational and abstract veins of oil, acrylic, and mixed media to visually reflect the living intersection of seen and unseen. My artwork is influenced by the tension between journey and journey’s end, the braid of memory, practice, and imagined destination. My synthesis of scale distortions and witness to myth seeks an illuminated narrative of material history in transparent layers.
