Artist Statement

My artistic practice explores what happens to a system when imperfection is the starting point. Working with an autoimmune condition that causes tremors, I develop gestures that resist precision. I paint from alignment, not control. Every line is an act of resilience, a limit recorded, not corrected, but integrated into the structure.

I construct systems based on repetition, geometry and negative space. Within these systems, imperfect lines infiltrate and alter balance, rhythm and perception. Control is not stable. It is constructed and constantly challenged.

My work extends across paper, canvas and wood, moving from surface to spatial configurations. Intuition operates inside the system, not outside it.

My current body of work, Expanding Perspectives, unfolds across three series. In Threshold, fragile systems hold their ground, suspended between tension and surrender. In Asymmetric Disruption, colour vibrates against geometric form, setting structure in motion. In Expanding Horizon, painted wood enters space itself: casting shadows, shifting depth, redefining where the work ends and the room begins.
