ARTIST STATEMENT
I aim to create a relatable, humorous, and disarming aesthetic in my work that brings a sense of belonging to the human experience. I paint expressive figures, wildlife and landscapes, depicting familiar places, forms, and emotions with playfulness and curiosity. I seek inspiration in my own humanness, and see beauty in what challenges me to grow. I believe the inner challenges we all face become an opportunity to expand our creativity and perspective. Fears become catalysts, loss turns to love, and self-doubt is motivation to meet my potential.
I paint loosely in Alla Prima with either oil or acrylic on canvas, using long brushes and a knife. I enjoy an active, decisive, and spontaneous approach, deliberately loose to communicate direct emotion. The economy in my work is also a way to communicate the beauty in being a work in progress. I want to leave it open-ended, and allow for more to be possible. This way my work can be as inspiring as it is honest.
