Blending traditional painting techniques with contemporary digital media to explore attachment theory, memory, and the persistent echoes of human connection.

Attachment Theory

“Attachment Theory” explores the deep-seated human need for connection, revealing how these bonds shape development and influence relationships throughout life. Each work depicts figures navigating spaces that serve as metaphors for psychological constructs. The architectural elements and environmental details reflect internal emotional landscapes, inviting contemplation of how attachment patterns manifest in both physical and psychological realms.

Liminal Dreams

“Liminal Dreams” depicts the blurred boundaries between consciousness and unconsciousness through harmonious integration of traditional painting and digital media. The works create dreamlike expressions of threshold spaces existing between physical and psychological worlds. Each piece presents richly textured explorations of these in-between states, where reality and imagination converge in moments of transition and possibility.

The Imperfect Journey

“The Imperfect Journey” examines the tension between founding ideals and lived realities in America. Through layered imagery and deliberate juxtapositions, these works encourage confrontation with uncomfortable truths about collective history. The series presents visual narratives that challenge viewers to see the full arc of experience, recognizing both progress and the persistent gaps between aspiration and actuality.

Process

Mixed media works combine acrylic painting on transparent panels with carefully integrated video elements, creating pieces that exist in multiple visual dimensions. Video selectively animates portions of each work, establishing a dream-like dialogue between stillness and motion. This layering technique merges traditional painting with digital elements, allowing viewers to experience a fluid transition between material reality and imaginative possibilities.
