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 begins with memory and lived experience, filtered through shifting psychological narratives. I embrace the unpredictability of life, using chaos and form as raw material for compositions that reflect the hidden structures, both personal and societal, that shape who we are and how we see the world.
"I paint at the edge of chaos and form, searching for the hidden structures of the self."
