We experience the world as overlapping sensations — wind, color, brightness, texture, scent, and so many others — all while our minds chatter away. In recent paintings, I explore how rough technique (scrapes, drips, splatter), simple composition, graffiti-like writing, and many overlapping layers can evoke complexity, chaos, emergence, and accidental beauty.

Current exhibition: These paintings can be viewed during November and December 2025 as part of a group show: Abstractions: Expressing the spiritual through a personal visual aesthetic at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Olympia.
