Exploring Abstraction
Embrace the World of Modern Abstract Expressionism Art
Immerse yourself in the transformative world of contemporary abstract art—where creativity transcends boundaries and emotion finds vibrant form. My artistic journey began not with a single epiphany, but with a gradual shift: a quiet awakening from the structured rhythm of corporate life to the boundless language of abstraction.
My work lives at the intersection of chaos and clarity—where the freeform energy of abstract expressionism meets the structural beauty of geometric abstraction. This fusion of organic and ordered forms creates visual narratives that reflect our innate desire for balance. Bold, saturated color palettes define my practice, not just for their visual impact but for their emotional resonance—capturing moments of joy, awe, and depth.

Leaving behind spreadsheets for canvases was a leap into the unknown. But within that leap, I found growth, self-discovery, and the space to create. My home in Phoenix—with its bright, open studio—became the sanctuary where my practice could unfold. Each day begins with a blank canvas and an open heart. The process is intuitive and improvisational, shaped more by curiosity than control. Like life, it’s unpredictable—filled with surprise, texture, and moments of unexpected clarity.
Through this body of work, I invite you to pause, reflect, and connect. To step outside the literal, and into a space where feeling leads and form follows. Whether it's the gesture of a line or the glow of a color, I hope each painting offers a moment of presence—and perhaps, a quiet transformation of your own.
