My work explores the emotional and psychological resonance of domestic interiors. Through large-scale oil paintings of beds, couches, wallpapers, and other everyday furnishings, I investigate how rooms act as repositories of memory—spaces that absorb, hold, and ripple traces of the lives once lived within them. Growing up in an old, richly textured and decoratively patterned house made me sensitive to the atmospheres that linger long after people leave: warmth or melancholy present in the walls, stories layered into wallpaper, and the quiet presence of objects as witnesses to developing lives.
Rather than repetitively depicting figures directly, I use furniture, patterns, and architectural surfaces to evoke presence through absence. Material elements carry the residue of previous human space holders or owners; these materials function as documenters and holders of emotion. My paintings structure remembered spaces with imagined ones, creating interiors that feel both familiar and unsettled.
Ultimately, my work asks viewers to consider how spaces remember and how domestic environments, even in their stillness, continue to hold and transmit the energies of human experience.
