About me
Welcome to my website. I try to approach the world with curiosity, empathy, and balance. I value understanding across differences and believe that complex problems rarely have simple solutions.
These same values guide my art. I’m drawn to layers, nuance, and tension—spaces where opposites meet and something new emerges. My encaustic monotypes reflect this search for common ground and deeper understanding, both within the work and within ourselves.
About the process
Encaustic monotype is a one-of-a-kind printmaking process in which I paint with pigmented beeswax on a heated metal plate, or hotbox. The warm surface keeps the wax fluid, allowing me to create expressive marks, blend colors, and build subtle layers of texture.
When the image is ready, I place paper over the plate and apply light pressure to transfer the painting. Peeling it back reveals a reversed impression—often with unexpected nuances that only heat and wax can create. I may repeat the process to build additional layers, deepening the color and complexity.
Each piece is spontaneous and unrepeatable, capturing the immediacy of gesture, heat, and movement in a moment that cannot be recreated.
