  Artist's Statement
“Referring to landscapes, ancient maps, hieroglyphs, typography, geology, and cultural writings, I create my paintings by layering the paper for texture and then add washes and linear elements to create an abstract landscape. There is an essence of discovery with each area of the painting I take away and reassemble. The work itself resembles an artifact, revealing something new with each layer.”
