 My work is a translation of my experiences into figurative and narrative mixed-media paintings. A consistent theme is the notion of concealing to reveal by exploring the visual clues that are exposed in the painting rather than the identity of the subject. The narrative lives in the space between the seen and unseen. Including mixed-media techniques, such as hand-embroidery, allows me to explore visual levels beyond the boundaries of traditional painting. In an age where the accessibility of art online often makes it feel oversaturated and less intimate, my work offers an advantage for those experiencing it in person.
