PAINTING

My work navigates the terrain between image and language, Feminism and Surrealism, exploring themes of metamorphosis and intuition, confronting negation and dismantling hierarchies of color, material, and subject.  It explores the paradox of containment and freedom—the tension between firm boundaries and infinite internal space. This inquiry is rooted in a desire to access a sense of boundless openness within defined limits. Painting functions as a site of investigation, where the work sits within a contained frame to explore expansiveness through both a centered and non-centered point of arrival. The relationship between center and edge is foundational to the work, as are moments of active stillness—resting places where perception can pause, settle, and expand. Through this, the work invites viewers to encounter themselves within their own limits while simultaneously opening into a vast, unknown field.
