Artist Statement

My current work, Orchid Fever, explores orchids as immersive, dreamlike portals shaped by color, movement, and abstraction. Rather than depicting flowers as they appear, I transform their forms into psychedelic, emotionally charged environments that invite reflection and escape. I have been working as an artist in Greenpoint since 2005, developing an intuitive, process-driven practice rooted in natural forms, symmetry, and vivid color. In this series, orchids become strange, otherworldly presences through which I explore themes of beauty, fragility, and resilience. My work has been included in exhibitions at Hollis Taggart Gallery, Wassaic Project, Future Fair, Spring Break Art Fair, 5-50 Gallery, Deanna Evans Project, and IRL Gallery, among others. I recently completed a residency at L’AiR Arts in Paris.
