Artist Statement

Liminal— a threshold or in-between space, a fleeting realm where boundaries blur, transitions unfold, and the familiar dissolves into the unknown.

In my life and work, I am captivated by the ambiguity and potential of liminal spaces that challenge our understanding of reality. Through conceptual abstraction, I reinterpret traditional subjects and classical genres while dissolving barriers between material and imagined worlds. An interior, a still life, a household object: these are tangible, familiar, and “real” —but what happens when we question their permanence? My work aims to reframe perspectives, opening a dialogue with dream spaces and meditative realms that ask us to reconsider our understanding of truth.

Rooted in material exploration, I exploit color, texture, and form to disrupt conventional perceptions and understandings, and engage in my own liminal experience. In this reflective space, I enter a state of creative immersion, detaching from the tangible and embracing the transformative.  My wood panels are layered with intentional and distorted strokes, markings, and collaged fragments. Figures evolve, dissolve, shape-shift, and interact as I respond to the process.

Switching between an array of media and languages within a single panel, I incorporate paper cutouts, house paints, gouache, watercolor, oil crayons, pen, pencil, dyes, and repurposed elements from discarded artwork. These compositions reflect a dynamic interplay of nature, architecture, movement, pattern, imagination, and personal handwriting.:

While my works often draw from deeply personal experiences, they are not confined to my perspective alone. I invite viewers to engage with uncertainty, reflect on their assumptions, and extract their own meaning. My work embraces the coexistence of multiple interpretations, encouraging a fluid and open-ended dialogue. To linger in the ambiguity of these truths is, in fact, to embrace the liminal.
