My current work is a series of abstract paintings in acrylic , focusing on evoking emotion through layered color and texture. These works invite viewers to immerse themselves in the interplay of depth and light, and engage in a personal and sensory exploration. As part of my creative process, I continue to push myself to seek out and explore new materials. I am interested in working with the surface and investigating the interplay of new materials and paint.  As the process unfolds, I allowed the materials and the interactions between layers to guide me to the final outcome.  I go back and forth sometimes leading the process and sometimes letting the materials lead. This approach is a conversation of addition and subtraction, layering and removing. I built up layers of colour where each layer interacted with the next to create a sense of light and depth. The final result is a composition that is both direct and controlled, and invites the viewer to linger and explore.
