My paintings investigate the dynamic intersection of land and water, focusing on the ever-changing boundaries that define coastlines, peninsulas, and islands. These edges, formed by erosion, tides, storms, and human presence, serve as reminders of the dialogue between permanence and transformation, of earth and self.

My background in cartography continues to inform my practice. Mapping, for me, is not only about precision and authority but also about documenting personal experience. In my work, aerial perspectives and geographical markers accumulate into a visual narrative, blending earthly navigation with memory. The interaction between enduring elements, such as rocks, and the cyclical forces of water and weather shapes my understanding of a place. I see these landscapes as sites of negotiation, formed through endurance, disruption, and renewal.

Through oils, acrylics, and inks, I experiment with surface tension and movement. Fluid underpaintings are layered with linear marks and cartographic references, while the physical manipulation of canvas and paper evokes the energy of water. This process transforms materials into dynamic expressions of terrain and time. In my painting, mapping becomes a way of navigating and remembering, tracing the shifting edges of land and water while reflecting my own obstacles, detours, growth, and the unfolding of a life.
