Surface
The works gathered here move across medium and decade, united by a sustained inquiry into surface, layering, and time. The Strataform Paintings are the current focus — dimensional works shaped by geological memory and the strata of the Southern California coast. The encaustic paintings, works on paper, and earlier series trace the arc of an ongoing investigation into what accumulates, what erodes, and what endures.
Strataform Paintings - Textural abstractions shaped by geological memory, layering, and time.

One Series on Paper - A single brushstroke imbuing the surface with meaning - echoing the idea that a solitary act can lead to transformative change.
