Based in the Berkshires, I look to create watercolor and ink paintings inspired by movement, memory, and the places we carry within us. My work blends geometries, pathways, and shifting shapes to explore how our experiences connect and change over time. Through color and gesture, I aim to build quiet, abstract landscapes that invite viewers to slow down, look closely, and find their own meaning.

A recent and formative source of inspiration is Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities. The influence lies not only in the book’s imagined journey through fifty-five cities, but in the Oulipian constraints Calvino used to structure and arrange the novel - systems that generate variation, connection, and rhythm. This series follows my own passage through these cities, with each painting developed within a fixed set of constraints around palette and layout. Each city contains traces of others, forming networks and suggesting a shared urban logic: the idea that every city reflects a single place. To emphasize the ethereal and temporary nature of such a journey, I titled the series Lalage, a city mentioned only in passing.
