I make paintings about stillness, presence, and peace.
My work is rooted in reduction by removing noise and excess so that what remains feels essential. Through slow, repeated gestures and elemental materials like paint, water, hands and canvas I explore the quiet places where my attention settles and breath softens.
These paintings are visual poems. Like language distilled to its most meaningful lines, the work is pared down until subtle shifts and simple marks carry emotional weight. What emerges is not narrative, but a sense of calm, clarity, groundedness.
My practice is also spiritual. I invite the Holy Spirit into my process by asking God to quiet me, guide my hands, and fill the work with peace. For me, stillness is not empty; it is a space where I become present to God’s presence. The work grows from prayer, listening, and letting go of control and by trusting the unseen more than the immediate.
These paintings are not about spectacle or noise. They are about gentleness, breath, humility, and rest. They invite a slower way of looking, of being and a place where peace is not an escape but a present reality.
In a world defined by urgency, this work chooses surrender. Through reduction, I look for those things that cannot be reduced: peace, breath, Spirit, the quiet truth of simply being here.
