For as long as I can remember, I couldn’t choose between expressing myself creatively and pursuing my cognitive longing. I’m grateful I didn’t have to—they’ve now synthesized. In my work as a healthcare practitioner as well as my work as an artist and writer, the human experience stands central.
My practice investigates the vulnerability of being human. In a world where everyday banality becomes something scarce, I’m interested in what being human still entails.
This investigation is reflected in my material choices. I work mainly in muted palettes with gestural mark-making because paint, ink, and charcoal themselves express what language sometimes cannot: the physical toll of endurance, the resignation of surrender, the strange relief of letting go.
