ARTIST STATEMENT
My work is a visual log of all that I have encountered, spanning the beautiful to the grotesque, the serious to the silly. Each project is approached as a series of vignettes based on real and imagined memories. They develop into a newly coded and personal narrative with the intention of speaking to experiences beyond my own. Visual engagements seem familiar and yet illusive. Gaps and ambiguities keep us from feeling a sense of closure. Fleeting thoughts of a character or space will go unanswered. There are attempts at humor, tenderness, nostalgia, irreverence, and challenging authority.
