I am interested in specificity and space and how to make specific spaces of people, places and things.
As a life-long learner, I prefer asking questions to making pronouncements. I value curiosity and being adaptive. Accordingly, my work eschews direct narrative but rather reflects my interests—such as the light in a landscape, the associations of photographs, the directness of portraiture, and, above all, the materials and craft of painting.
I make work to surprise myself not to prove a point. Intellectually and creatively, I can’t sit still. I’ll take visual discovery and seduction—like how two shades of olive-green shimmer next to other or how a suggested line is concrete in its absence—over distilled meaning any day.
