My work explores the interaction between unexpected color combinations and irregular shapes. My goal is to create visual energy that is specific to the viewer. By composing designs without any suggestion of representation, the viewer has a chance to connect with the painting in their own way. My work embodies the very idea that art is subjective. 

I'm self-taught and love to experiment with different techniques and products. Each body of work I create is an evolution of my process and is influenced by various sources of inspiration.
