Painting, in particular, is a space where I can release and not be bound by any pre-determination. I’m drawn to abstraction because it removes the need for a fixed outcome.

Without the pressure of precision or realism, I can focus on the act of creating itself — responding to what is happening on the canvas and allowing each decision to influence the next.

While much of my painting has been exploratory and loose, I am beginning to introduce more structure into the work. The intention is not to control the process, but to give it a stronger foundation while still allowing space for intuition.
