Artists Statement:
At the most basic level I want to make things that are beautiful and ask to be considered. |

We live our lives in a confluence of our physical and mental worlds. I am interested in making paintings that reference this phenomenon. Each paintings is a collection of separate parts, mental landscapes, physical landscapes, figures and verbal expression. The frame like the self holds these separate parts together. They are like a fractured mirror with each segment reflecting a different view of the whole.
Technically the paintings are my exploration of visual, and to a lesser extent verbal, language. They are a consideration of how a visual/verbal dialogue conveys meaning. They are the symbolic use of setting, time, and character, aesthetically gathered to create content and beauty.
At the most basic level I am simply trying to make interesting and beautiful things that both give and ask for a response.
