Since graduating from the University of North Texas in 1992 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting, my art has reflected a journey through conflicted spaces, navigating the matrix of corporate America embedded in structural strain. It is about the speed of life, the collisions, and the search for peaceful space.

My artistic foundation has been shaped by extensive movement through congested landscapes where each location leaves its residue: street textures, industrial noise, architectural decay, or moments of stillness and disarray. These impressions are not just visual but visceral. My goal is to make the invisible tensions of industrious life felt through weight, fragmentation, and the urgency of mark-making.

Working with layered textures and, at times, salvaged materials, my pieces are created to become sensory landscapes—mapping both physical environments and internal states. My goal is to create abstract assemblages that reflect on themes of stress, confinement, and reaction.

I pursue honesty in my process and the impact of my compositions to unsettle, absorb, and connect. I explore experiences of urban life, societal issues, and personal introspection, stemming from my journey of observation and impact. I am mentally and physically jammed in tight spaces, and that tends to come out in my work.
