Artist statement

My work is a reflection on the value of time - how it is spent, treasured, and transformed into something lasting. Rooted in the deep bond often shared with my dogs, my art explores the joy found in presence, everyday gestures of care, and the seemingly small moments that quietly shape our lives.

Influenced by my background in graphic design, I contrast intricate, realistic drawings with clean iconographic line works. These contrasting visual languages reflect the dual nature of memory and meaning: the immersive slowness of detailed mark-making alongside the symbolic clarity of simplified forms. Each approach requires time and intention - mirroring the rhythms of relationships and the quiet discipline of love.

Through this process, I celebrate the playful, imperfect evidence of time shared with others. My work invites viewers to pause, notice the overlooked, and find beauty in the ordinary - reminding us that joy often lives in the moments we take for granted.
