I make paintings using shellac and pigment—building surfaces the way you build a finish: by repetition, restraint,
and attention to light. The city becomes structure. Water becomes memory. The work lives in the threshold between
immersion and air.
I’m drawn to moments that pass too fast to hold: a street seen from motion, the lake after a swim, reflections
that fracture and recombine. Painting slows the signal down.

notes
how it’s made
French polishing taught me that a surface can hold light like a lens.
I treat pigment as sediment: suspended, then settled—layer over layer.
— the finish is the narrative
A
bio
Based in Toronto. Background in french polishing. I paint city scenes and water-adjacent moments,
and I write poems that sit beside the images.
