My work begins beneath the surface of the water, where movement slows and form softens. Each panel begins with an underwater pigment print on archival paper, mounted to wood. I develop most surfaces by hand with encaustic wax, oils, pastels, and pigment. Selected works receive a related acrylic-based mixed-media finish.

I am drawn to water for its stillness, mystery, and emotional depth, and to classical mythology as a language for transformation, beauty, and inner life. By bringing photography together with the ancient medium of encaustic, I create luminous works suspended between the contemporary and the timeless, the seen and the felt.
