ARTIST STATEMENT
My work is predominantly about the human figure. The use of nondescript surroundings and color help me to create a narrative or mood. I paint with an intuitive approach and throughout the process, listening to the painting for feedback. My paintings generally consist of many layers of paint and spontaneous marks, that transform into faces, figures, and landscapes.
