My paintings develop organically as I work on them. I'm drawn to the character of aging buildings and how time and the elements leave their mark. There's beauty in rust, peeling paint, and cracked surfaces that I try to reflect in my art. I enjoy the endless possibilities of combining different elements and textures into a single piece.
I start each new painting by putting something—anything—on the surface. It could be simple marks, pieces of paper, or random color blocks. Each element guides the next, making the process mostly intuitive. Layers of paint and paper are applied, scraped away, and painted over until a history emerges. Every addition or removal presents a problem to solve, which is both challenging and freeing.
