ABOUT

An artist working at the intersection of painting, photography, and optical systems, their practice investigates the physical and psychological friction of neurodivergent masking, non-consensus perception, and philosophical perspectivism.

Holding a Bachelor of Design in photography, a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting, and an extensive background managing complex technical projects, they bring a structured, highly methodical approach to studio research. Their work unites multi-methodology canvases with macro-photographic glass refractions to explore how perception is constructed, distorted, and unmasked.

By insisting on true physical materiality their studio practice offers an authentic, human counterpoint to digital automation. They live and maintain an active research-creation studio practice, exhibiting work that bridges technical precision with lived autoethnographic inquiry.
