My painting is defined by an intensity of color, smoothly shaped contours, and organic shapes that bend, twist, and rotate in space. This body of work arose from a desire to use geometry in its simplest possible form. Paring down shapes, I found that curvilinear forms emerged. Circles function as celestial bodies, dark holes, mechanical fragments, and faces. They are invented characters in my painting narrative and reveal intimate stories of their creation.
