Within my practice, I use drawing as a means to think through, make sense of, and meditate on topics that most interest me—these include patterns, processes, and systems, specifically those that embody natural spaces.

​

     My work is often composed of varied lines, geometric and organic shapes, earth-toned colors, gridded backgrounds, movement, and repetition; in building these works element by element, I create patterned compositions that are intricate, intimate, and simultaneously compact and expansive. Ultimately I feel that my process emphasizes my understanding of drawing as a means to diagram, map and construct meaning through visual patterning.

     

     I understand my patterns as not only a means to translate my personal interests, but also as entities unto themselves that possess their own energies. I often feel that as I progress, build, and move through a piece, the work actually starts to unravel and reveal itself as something that is truly alive. I feel that my drawings breathe, pulsate, and possess a certain rhythm that hums, vibrates and ultimately guides me and my viewers through their patterned and natural worlds.
