statement

figurative work in oil and ceramics sits at the centre of my practice. for years i worked from restraint: a controlled surface, controlled fracture, controlled mark. even damage was designed. i’m undoing that habit. i’m building a practice where intuition has room alongside control, where pressure, revision, and accident are allowed to remain visible. i want it unfiltered, but not careless: raw surface, deliberate decisions.

the work doesn’t arrive lightly.

bio

born in uganda and raised across africa, the united states, and europe, i’ve worked in social services and volunteered on projects internationally, including mural painting and community initiatives. i trained in sports massage and holistic massage, which shaped how i understand the body through touch and pressure. these experiences have informed the work, sometimes as friction rather than inspiration. i move between locations.
