About

The world we live in surrounds us with visible entanglements which are complex and dynamic. From very tangible urban architecture, roads, streets, or paths to nature’s forests branchings, tree barks, flowers and leaves to less visible ones such as sound and light waves.

For many years I’ve worked as a visual arts teacher in Chicago, IL. Today, relocating to South Florida is bringing a new focus in my work and is allowing me to explore new avenues as a mixed media visual artist.

Primarily foraging and using natural pigments, my works are inspired by the mesmerizing patterns of sound cymatics, the intricate phenomena of linear polarization, and the mathematical elegance of phyllotaxis. By harnessing the vibrant colors derived from minerals, plants, and other natural sources, I like to infuse paintings with geometry as well as organic shapes that resonate deeply with nature.

The fluid shapes emerging from sound and light waves become the foundation of my compositions, while the geometric based arrangements add a layer of depth and complexity.
