I am a Louisiana-based artist exploring abstract ideas using texture, layer, and color. My paintings depict line & shape both organic and structural. I create paintings that begin as experiments, trying to answer questions like, “Can I do this?” or “How would this idea be represented?” Using these basic questions, I manipulate the canvas into a cohesive painting. I am inspired by travel and nature, typically starting with reference photos. I like to imagine my finished pieces as backdrops of someone’s life. I wonder how the piece changes based on who is viewing it and where it is situated in the environment.
