This work on paper delves into human relationships, exploring what binds us together. I view people as vessels of connection and share moments and sensations that range from fractured to hopeful and inclusive. Boundaries are reduced, and abstracted permeable figures merge and with their distinct environment. Adhering paper to a solid foundation symbolizes making permanent something fleeting. My experimental and intuitive approach uses connection processes like join, share, and equalize.

Paintings focus on genuine, supportive relationships and the goodwill that holds people together. They combine real experienced moments and sensations with the imaginary, reframing life's journey to be hopeful and inclusive. Permeable abstracted figures merge with each other and their distinct environment, becoming a metaphor for the wider human condition.
