Artist Statement

If you were to step into one of my paintings, you might feel as though you suddenly interrupted a brief moment in time. My paintings portray mostly female figures that are pondersome, inquisitive, and reflective with a gaze that is directed at the viewer. Through my art, I am weaving together my love for the human psyche—particularly as it relates to our search for meaning. With my love of patterns, architecture, botanicals, and fashion, I invite the viewer to imagine my subjects’ story and how it relates to that of their own.
