ABOUT
I make work about what survives.
I am a painter and writer drawn to places where memory refuses erasure. 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 when endurance is no longer a choice.
I work primarily in oil, building dense, gestural surfaces that feel lived in rather than observed.
These paintings are not depictions.
They are witnesses.
My writing inhabits the same terrain—Southern Gothic narratives where silence carries consequence and what is buried does not stay still.
Painting and writing are one practice.
I change tools, not intent.
This work is not meant to comfort.
It is meant to endure.
