Created as a reflection on the stages of grief I have gone through since falling under the spell of chronic illness, this painting is intentionally difficult to look at, both in terms of subject matter and composition. The facial expression, burning color, darkness, sharp, hard outlines, rough edges, and hellish tendrils melting into nothingness combine to symbolically indicate the stages of grief from denial, anger, rejection, bargaining, and finally to acceptance.

My work grows out of memory and lived experience. I let the unpredictable side of life (its disruptions, coincidences, and contradictions) become part of the painting process. By balancing chaos with form, I look for the underlying patterns that run through both my own story and the world we share.
"I paint in the space between chaos and structure, trying to uncover what lies beneath the surface of the self."
