ABOUT
I make work about what survives.
I am a painter and writer drawn to places where memory refuses to be erased. My work treats houses as bodies—structures that absorb grief, pressure, silence, and history until they begin to speak back. Fire appears often, not as destruction, but as truth: what burns away, and what remains.
I work primarily in oil, building dense, gestural surfaces that feel lived in rather than observed. These paintings are not depictions of houses. They are witnesses. They hold weight, endurance, and the quiet insistence of things that have been through something and are still standing.
My writing inhabits the same terrain. I write Southern Gothic fiction and poetry concerned with generational trauma, silenced voices, and the intimacy between place and the human body. In these stories, houses remember. Silence carries consequence. What is buried insists.
Painting and writing are the same investigation. I simply change tools.
This work is not meant to comfort.
It is meant to endure.
