The Fuzzy Wuzzy series emerges from an intentional act of limited vision where I paint without the use of my prescriptive eyewear. In doing so, these works reject clarity in favor of softness, distortion, and suggestion.

I am inspired by moments in my private world of friends, family, lovers, and self. The figures echo the way they are seen in the quiet early mornings and late nights, when vision dissolves, and the body is perceived more through memory than detail. By removing the ability to focus sharply on my subjects, palette, or canvas, my attention shifts toward light, color, and shape, and I navigate using intuition.

This process invites “mistakes” and gestures that cannot be overcorrected, forms that resist precision. In relinquishing control, the paintings arrive at a heightened sense of intimacy, where the absence of detail allows for a different kind of presence.
