Visual Practice

My work focuses primarily on painting, with some projects in screenprinting, fiber and textiles, and assemblage. I use geometric abstraction and biomorphic forms, often referencing natural systems and environmental conditions.  

My project Razzle Dazzle Melanism considers camouflage as a natural defense system and a technological innovation, suggesting future adaptations for surviving environmental degradation. Recent painting series Surface/Tension and Riparian Diluvian work with formal patterns to explore dynamic states of rhythm, repetition, and disorder reflected in the natural world.
