In the realm of abstract expression, I am an artist who uses an eclectic mix of mediums to craft my paintings. Through the vibrant interplay of acrylic, watercolor, markers, pastels, and ink. Born into a lineage deeply interwoven with the arts, my formative years in Louisiana and Southeast Texas were steeped in the creative ethos fostered by my artist parents. A spark ignited within me at the early age of two, as I began narrating my world through figurative depictions on my mother’s office walls. My parents nurtured the seed of my artistic journey amidst artists, curators, and professors, who bestowed upon me the gift of fearlessness in exploring diverse materials and surfaces, while nurturing and inspiring the expanse of my creative imagination. My current body of works are vibrant and playful paintings. Beyond the visual, my brushstrokes and imagery beckon the viewer to a deeper engagement, inviting them to transcend the surface and truly immerse themselves beyond their immediate visual charm, these works extend an invitation to the viewer: to delve beneath the surface, to connect with the layered meanings that lie woven under the surface. Scale is often intricate, inviting the viewer to come closer. The methodology behind my art is a dance of consciousness, an intuitive expression realized through the stacking of textures, the rhythm of patterns, and the playful shift of colors that dance between depth and surface. My pieces juxtapose a variety of inspirations—from the whimsical imagery of Joan Miró and Paul Klee to the spontaneous paint application of Jackson Pollock, the iconic resonance of Jim Dine, the distinctive figurative work and layering of Jean-Michel Basquiat, the concealed depictions of John Alexander, to Paul Manes’s repetitive simplicity. Each influence weaves into my work, creating a rich tapestry of visual language that is both uniquely mine and an homage to the masters that came before me.
