I make abstract expressionist paintings driven by instinct and a refusal to worship perfection.
I crave it, and chase it— all the way.
Bold color. Large gestures. Spontaneous marks.
Chaos negotiated into form.
Realism crashes the party.
I work with raw materials and unapologetic questions—
how memory haunts,
why emptiness feels like hell or home
I make abstract expressionist paintings driven by instinct and a refusal to worship perfection.
I crave it, and chase it— all the way.
Bold color. Large gestures. Spontaneous marks.
Chaos negotiated into form.
Realism crashes the party.
I work with raw materials and unapologetic questions—
how memory haunts,
why emptiness feels like hell or home,
what we’re all doing here.
I’m building my exit.
Redefining the mark I leave.
Art insists.
Magical. Sublime.

Each piece made slowly and intuitively, shaped by gesture, color, and lived experience.
Every work offered here is an original, one-of-a-kind painting from my studio. If you’re looking for something that carries presence, feeling, and quiet complexity, I hope you’ll find a piece that resonates. Living with original art is a personal experience. These works are made to hold space in your home — to evolve with you, gather meaning over time, and become part of your everyday landscape.
Thank you for supporting independent art.
Studio visits are available by appointment.
Please get in touch to arrange a visit.

When I’m not in the studio, I’m building around the house, tending the garden, cooking a dangerously good Malaysian curry, or negotiating with my two assistants who believe canvases and salvaged wood are rawhide.
