Artist statement

I create paintings, photographs, and mixed media inspired by architecture and urban landscapes. My work highlights aging infrastructure—rooftop water tanks, elevated train tracks, steel bridges, and industrial-era buildings—alongside modern architecture, exploring how these elements contrast within the city. Through this, I capture the textures, sounds, and colors that shape the urban environment.

Rooftop water tanks, especially in Chicago and New York, are a recurring subject. As relics of our industrial past and a disappearing part of the skyline, I photograph them and reinterpret those images in paintings.

Experimentation is also part of my process, using techniques like scraping, collage, and spray paint. My influences include the city itself, architecture, music, abstract expressionism, pop art, street art, and technology.
