ORACLE

My paintings explore the convergence of physical gesture and constructed mark-making, where intuitive brushwork meets a more deliberate structural language. I work between control and release—building surfaces through dragging, scraping, and veiling so that each mark carries both immediacy and distance.

Developed in the Hudson Valley, this body of work draws from the night sky—its depth, dispersed light, and sense of containment. Rather than describing a landscape, the paintings translate these conditions into compressed fields of atmosphere, where light appears as a trace or interruption.

The work moves toward a held internal space—neither fully spatial nor entirely abstract—where gesture becomes measured and structure begins to breathe.
