STATEMENT
I keep my process playful and animated. I utilize vivid colors, pronounced textures and bold compositions in a series of spontaneous actions and impulses. Each piece remains in a state of flux, where every new addition is a reaction to the last, and also informs the next. Guided by a fugitive memory or reference, I coax seemingly disparate elements towards some sort of self-fulfilled sense of resolution.
While my work dwells in the realm of abstraction, themes both formal and emotional lie just beneath the surface. It is these somewhat sublimated motifs that hopefully connect with the viewer willing to take the long look.
