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 fractured mirrors 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.
