This body of work explores the textures of memory—both visual and emotional—through paintings that long for the past and celebrate the power of recollection. I layer blocks of color with imagined typography inspired by vintage signage, using paint to reconstruct personal memories.

Color is foundational to my process. I associate specific hues with moments or feelings, and these connections become the starting point for each piece. Alongside this, my love of mid-century advertising and graphic design informs the textual elements I include. These bits of hand-drawn lettering—evocative of signs or places I want to remember—are intentionally imperfect, echoing the way memories fade and distort over time.

In making these works, I’ve developed a deep admiration for hand-painted signage as both an art form and a craft. By combining color studies with references to homespun lettering, I aim to blur the line between commercial art and fine art, creating a visual language that feels both personal and universal.
