Artist Statement

My work uses geometric abstraction as a way of thinking about perception, balance, and the emotional weight carried by form and color. I am interested in how simple structures can generate complex experiences, and how stillness can hold tension, movement, and vulnerability.

Working primarily with painting on wood and linen, I build visual systems through repetition, subtle variation, and restraint. Each decision, edge, proportion, color relationship, is deliberate, yet open to instability. Rather than resolving into fixed images, the works unfold slowly, shifting as the viewer’s attention moves across the surface.

Material presence is central to my practice. By allowing structure, edges, and surface to remain visible, I resist illusion in favor of physical encounter. The work acknowledges its own construction while inviting perception to remain fluid and unresolved.

Rooted in the Caribbean, my relationship to color and rhythm is shaped by a landscape marked by movement, resilience, and layered histories. These influences are not illustrated but embedded; informing tempo, tension, and spatial awareness.

Ultimately, the paintings function as spatial meditations. They ask for time, sustained looking, and quiet attention; positioning abstraction not as an intellectual exercise, but as a lived, emotional experience.
