Statement

For me, painting is a visceral exploration of ideas and feelings. I explore themes of connection, safety and impermanence employing a collection of personal iconography. Sometimes images are clearly apparent and sometimes they are swallowed by color and abstraction.

The combination of representational and abstract elements helps me to tap into the emotional continuity that exists in tandem with daily life. It is also a joy to deepen my connection to texture, color and form.

I am particularly interested in creating worlds that exist within their own energetic rules of gravity and perspective.
