Artist Statement
Screen printing is inherently repetitive. This repetition leads to refinement, opening the door to new interpretations. These vivid colors and semi-nonrepresentational compositions form microcosms. Memory, nature, and the intersection of internal and external realities are central themes—the tools I use to make emotions and fleeting moments visible. I push and pull, again and again, to assemble something that speaks to people, to fill in the gaps that words cannot fill.
