A small afternoon gathering centered around painting, atmosphere, land, and sustained looking.

Preparing the studio for Echoes of the Vast. This is the first installation and soft launch of Earth / House / Hold.

Beginning with my own paintings is a way of establishing the space’s curatorial language and presence before future exhibitions and invited artists.

Earth / House / Hold is an artist-run curatorial platform devoted to the slow encounter between work, material, land, time, and the wild conditions that shape perception and place.

My work explores how landscapes absorb time, memory, and traces of passage through layered material processes that respond to shifting conditions, rather than depicting something fixed. Growing up between Southern California and Arizona, I remain drawn to vast arid landscapes where erosion, accumulation, atmosphere, light, and surface carry history forward.

I studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York, NY with Alice Aycock and Shirley Irons, and later received an MFA from The Claremont Colleges - Claremont Graduate University and an MA in Arts Management from the Peter F. Drucker School of Management in Claremont, California.

My work is held in public and private collections across the United States.
