About Me
I create layered acrylic paintings using fluid techniques that combine color, density, and movement. By working with how paints interact, I build depth and organic forms that emerge through the layering process.
Each piece develops through a balance of intention and material behavior. Variations in density, sheen, and pigment create movement, cells, and subtle shifts that add depth and atmosphere to the work.
I’m drawn to the moment where forms begin to surface — where movement feels alive but remains open enough for personal interpretation.
My work is designed to shift the feeling of a space toward calm, focus, and reflection while still inviting a sense of wonder. Alongside original paintings, I create prints and functional pieces that carry the same movement and atmosphere into everyday environments.
Softhaze Studio works out of Northeast Ohio. Most pieces find their way into homes nearby, often after someone has seen the work in person at a market or a juried show — and originals, prints, and functional pieces ship anywhere in the US.

Paint moves differently depending on what is in it.
Paint is poured.
Colors begin to shift.
Patterns emerge.
I use different ways of moving paint to encourage different patterns. Heavier and lighter paints push against each other to create the patterns.
