I process states and experiences that take on shapes, spaces or things. It is encounters within and outside of me that are processed, the states fluctuate and slip away, it becomes difficult to give them names. I paint my life, simply put.

The process never starts with a template, but rather it is searching, adding and erasing until I can see something that calls to me and reminds me of my inner self, sometimes without knowing it was there.
