Artist Statement
Using automatic drawing as the foundation of my process, subconscious stories unfold. Emerging from layers of oil paint, chalk and pastel, my paintings unveil entangled beings that morph into undefined landscapes, revealing personally symbolic characters that reappear throughout my current work.
I’m investigating subconscious approaches alongside a personal symbology, creating pieces that flip between introspection and light absurdity. Blending interests in classical painting techniques with the spontaneity of automatic drawing, I explore that balance in my work, creating a synthesis.
