As an emerging visual artist and recently retired architect, my creative practice is deeply rooted in a lifelong engagement with design, nature, and spatial relationships. My transition from architecture to abstract painting has been both a continuation and a departure—carrying forward an adherence to form and balance, while following an intuitive process of call and response.  
I often work in series, allowing me to explore themes drawn from the natural world: the shifting tectonics of geology, the forces of the four elements, the invisible pulse of space and time. These themes serve as entry points into abstraction, where suggestion takes precedence over representation.
At the heart of my work is a desire to evoke a sense of visual space within the two-dimensional plane. I use color, size, overlap, value, opacity, and transparency to construct spatial depth and tension. In my most recent body of work, I’ve intentionally stripped away compositional elements such as pattern and texture. With very matte paints, solid blocks of color, and simplified geometric forms, I’m exploring how minimal means can still yield compositions that feel complete, resonant, and full.
This process is both meditative and analytical—a quiet dialogue between precision and spontaneity, intuition and logic.
