Compositions

2024

In this exhibition, still life becomes a site for invention. Everyday objects are simplified and arranged on a flattened plane, allowing balance, rhythm, and spatial tension to take precedence over description.

Working with both brush and oil stick, I draw into and across the paint, scratching or redefining lines as new relationships emerge. This process allows chance and revision to play a role, merging my background in design with the expressive possibilities of painting. Through this approach, I aim to challenge the boundaries between representation and abstraction, renewing the still life with quiet clarity and modern sensibility.

Many of these exhibitions grow out of ongoing themes and studio projects explored elsewhere on the site.

Works shown in past exhibitions may be in private collections; current works are noted as available and may be viewed on the Paintings pages or by inquiry.
