Formed from fragments of past memories, dreams, and experiences, I consider my paintings to be self-portraits. As you view the figures in my paintings you might feel as if you suddenly interrupted an intimate exchange that’s suspended in time. I paint authentic souls simply existing in their mundane realness. Art has always been a way for me to make sense of the world around me in the same way that dreams help us uncover what is hidden beneath the obvious surface, and to delve deeper into understanding our own personal truths.
