Abstract Expressionist Painter 

Outside Looking In

This series is about embracing where I am - particularly Minneapolis, MN. These paintings represent fleeting moments of color & movement found in the water and nature that surrounds me. 

EXPLORE

My Roots Run Deep

A recent move to a new city inspired this new series. I've been reflecting on who I am, how I was raised...my roots. When I'm quiet and looking for comfort, I retreat home, the place I know best.

Artist's Statement

Abstract painting, to me, is breaking down a thought or idea to its core, where the subject is gone and you build it back together, changing it, making it take on a whole new perspective. 

 

My process is a balance between chaos and calm. My paintings begin with chaos and slowly become organized and intentional. After establishing a color palette, I paint intuitively, without a plan or any idea of where the painting will take me. This is the best part, each painting takes on a new story. It’s often a struggle to make it feel cohesive and successful, but the challenge is what I crave and keeps me going back to my studio every day.
