About THE ARTIST

My work begins with glue—a humble, binding agent that becomes the foundation for transformation. 

Through layering, adhesion, and accumulation, I construct surfaces that oscillate between fragility and permanence. 

Each stratum is a record of time, a sediment of intention, where transparency and opacity negotiate space.

The process is meditative yet disruptive: glue as skin, as membrane, as architecture. 

It resists and accepts, creating tension between control and chance. 

These layers are not merely physical—they are metaphors for memory, for the unseen structures that hold us together and pull us apart.

Influenced by Rothko’s pursuit of the sublime, I seek depth not through color alone but through material density and spatial ambiguity. 

My compositions invite immersion, asking the viewer to linger in the voids, to feel the weight of silence pressed between layers. 

They are fields of presence—quiet, yet vibrating with the possibility of collapse.

Ultimately, my art is an inquiry into what binds and what breaks, what remains and what dissolves. 

It is less about image and more about essence: the unseen architecture of connection.

 The title of each piece is snipped from newspaper headlines.
I create each painting with the aid of a music playlist, and complete each piece with accompanying poetry or prose. 

I have lived in San Diego, CA for 25 years. My current studio is located in the community of Logan Heights - San Diego, CA.
