I work in layers—layers of paint, collage, print, and pattern—to create compositions that reflect depth, tension, and memory. My process is influenced by the way history builds upon itself, how experiences accumulate, and how nature and human structures interact over time. Each piece I create is a visual representation of this interplay, where colors and textures combine to evoke both the seen and unseen elements of place and time.

I am particularly inspired by my hometown, Macon, Georgia, where history, nature, and urban development continuously shape one another. My recent body of work, exhibited in a solo show at Macon Arts Alliance, explores Macon’s layered past and present through abstraction. My art also captures fleeting moments—subtle shifts in light, weathered surfaces, or the quiet beauty of everyday life.

I see abstraction as a form of creative problem-solving, where each layer builds upon the last, sometimes revealing, sometimes obscuring, much like memory itself. My goal is to create works that draw viewers in, encouraging them to explore the depth beneath the surface and to reflect on their own connections to history, place, and time.
