I paint because I love the physicality of the medium and its expressive potential. I love its ability to convey a condensed history of action and intention, and its ability to find new life and meaning with an audience long after it leaves the studio. I paint because I love the tradition of picture-making and because I believe in that tradition’s ongoing potential. I paint as a way of celebrating, processing, and exploring the human condition. I embrace a range of subjects, from landscapes to figurative mediascapes. Collectively, these series represent my interest in making paintings that are as much about the world we create as they are about the world that creates us.

I paint with a variety of media, including acrylics, oil, and acrylic gouache. I build my painting surface by layering both expressive brushwork and simplified graphic shapes, often in unexpected color combinations. This accumulation of marks and color in my paintings alternately coalesces into recognizability and disintegrates into abstraction, thus embodying moments fractured and forming, abrupt but enduring, and embracing the dynamic tension between representation and invention.
