Exploring Abstraction
Studio Journal: Musings on Art, Life, and Becoming
Reflections, Ideas, and Insights from Inside the Artist’s Studio
Studio Journal is where I reflect on the quieter questions of being an artist. These writings are part idea book, part personal philosophy—exploring what it means to create, to observe, and to move through the art world with intention. From musings on creative discipline and daily rituals, to thoughts on beauty, meaning, and the unseen structures that shape our lives, each post invites you into my studio as a space of inquiry and becoming. Here, art is not just something I make—it is how I think, listen, and live.
Embracing the Journey: Finding My Artistic Voice
Finding my voice as an abstract artist wasn’t about claiming a style—it was about learning to listen. To trust the process. To let the work become its own language.
The Art of Letting Go: Painting with Twine
Painting with twine is a meditative act of surrender—where control gives way to intuition, and organic forms arise from motion, not planning. Like neural pathways or emotional echoes, each mark reflects a moment of trust, allowing life to shape the work in its own way.
Art as a Way of Seeing
Art isn’t just what we look at—it’s how we look. Inspired by Heidegger, this reflection explores abstraction as a way of revealing what we often overlook.
