Artist Statement

“The world that we have made as a result of the level of thinking we have done thus far creates problems we cannot solve at the same level at which we created them.”
….. Albert Einstein

Images of shapes bending space arise in my meditation practice. The paintings are architectural. The shapes are off-axial and asymmetric, challenging the picture plane, the edge, the square to address the viewer and the room.

Untitled (Splitting) 2021 and Plane in Rotation 2022 are paintings in a series of paintings I began in 2018. I choose white and black to reflect the dynamics of our moment. I choose oils for their materiality and to affirm the authority of painting.

In the relationships of pure Form, we can see the Universe.

My paintings are held in the Collections of the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive and the Oakland Museum of California. I have been nominated for the SFMOMA SECA Award by Curator Janet Bishop.
