Context Patterns

The studio Pattern Etch grew out of the necessity to create and explore the world around me. The medium usually varies from charcoal to acrylic to watercolors, with the sole purpose of giving each pattern the exploration it deserves. The paintings come from an ongoing study of the built environment and nature. Patterns that exist around us have always been my source of inspiration. I collect memories from my travels all over the world and translate the emotions and qualities of nature and human touch that I’ve experienced. As a trained architect my work is, for the most part, structured and geometrical. I consider my work to be based on “place”, not a physical space, but the place created by experiences, experimentation and studies of my surroundings whether that is the sand at the beach, the mountains, details on a building or the woods. Every piece is created with an idea in mind that shapes itself as the process unfolds.
