My work lives in the space between control and surprise. I make deliberate marks with watercolor, ink, acrylic and gouache, and then watch what happens when wet meets wet, when one color bleeds into another, or when an unplanned drip changes everything.

The materials have their own ideas. Watercolor spreads and pools. Ink wanders. Gouache sits heavy and opaque. I work with these tendencies rather than fighting them, letting accidents become opportunities. A bloom that appears where two washes touch isn't a mistake—it's a collaboration.

My mixed media collage brings in texture and fragments, building up layers that you can see through and beneath. Torn edges, translucent washes over solid shapes, pieces of paper that carry their own history. The surfaces show how they were made, with lines still visible under later additions and colors showing through subsequent layers.

What makes the work feel alive is this visible conversation—between my intention and what the materials do on their own. The paintings and drawings don't hide their process. They reveal it, keeping that energy of discovery right there on the surface.
