ALCHEMIST & ARTIST-AT-LARGE

My practice investigates how visual perception shape the ways we see the world and ourselves. Beyond material and techniques, the core of my mark making is painting.  Through this translation, I render works in abstraction free of figuration or representation, distilling experiences into pure expression.  When installed in healthcare spaces, my ink and contemporary paintings offer moments of reflection, reframing, and renewal amidst the realities of morbidity and mortality.

 

Art is life, and life happens here at Chao Vision Institute, Irvine, CA.​
