Through abstraction, my work examines what it means to be human and how emotions and beliefs ripple outward, shaping identity, relationships, and society. My portfolio, The Human Experience, encompasses multiple series that reflect this ongoing exploration.

The Social Cadence series functions as my visual journal, examining the rhythms of society—its unity, conflicts, and fractures. With news and events shifting constantly, creating confusion and fragmented attention, I feel compelled to keep a record of significant moments—both past and present—so they are not forgotten. To capture these rhythms, the human form is reduced to the bare bones of a stick figure, shifting the focus to patterns of behavior. Social Cadence – Diversity further abstracts these rhythms in relation to diverse communities, particularly the LGBTQ+ community, with bold and vibrant imagery. Through minimalist symbolic imagery, these series record and reflect an era marked by uncertainty, widening inequality, and the erosion of rights and histories.

The Inner Landscape of the Mind series explores the complexity of moods and emotions through abstract imagery that is fluid, expressive, and often bold in color. These works feel energetic and intuitive—suggesting movement, rhythm, and the shifting nature of inner experience. In contrast, the Divisions and Humanity Divided series take a more restrained visual approach, using a palette of blues and blacks to examine societal fractures and the tensions that separate individuals and groups.

This exploration extends into my Embodied Form – Ceramic Vessels, where form and surface reflect embodied experience and presence, with surface treatment and firing used as expressive tools rather than purely aesthetic choices. These vessels serve as quiet containers of emotion, memory, and lived experience, carrying the same emotional depth and attention found in my paintings

Creating art is my way of exploring what it is to be human. It arises from observing the complexities of the world, guided by the belief that art can open eyes, invite reflection, and hold the possibility of change. By distilling these dynamics into minimalist, symbolic imagery and vessel forms, I aim to reveal the patterns that shape human experience—emotional, social, and cultural—and, in doing so, foster engagement with the full scope of The Human Experience.
