Artist mixing paint during a studio session

Studio perspective

The work begins before the first mark.

Layers are built slowly: found images, rubbed graphite, scraped passages of paint. Each painting holds its own weather, gathered over time rather than arranged all at once.

“I am looking for the moment a surface begins to remember.”
