My paintings begin with an image or an idea that feels familiar but cannot be fully explained. I am drawn to the moment when recognition gives way to uncertainty, when something we thought we understood opens into another possibility.

My work is shaped by philosophical and psychological questions: how memory forms identity, how perception shapes what we believe, and how our lives unfold between the choices we make and the forces we cannot always see. Time and free will recur throughout these explorations.

Ordinary objects take on unfamiliar roles, gathering associations that shift with the person looking. Their symbolic possibilities remain open. I leave something unresolved in each painting, allowing the viewer’s own experience to enter the work. For me, painting creates a space in which several possibilities can exist at once.
