My work encompasses the essence of human existence through the lens of color with oil paint. I meet
myself in my paintings and other studio works over memories and experiences of my own and of those around me.
I refer to the figure to give my paintings embodiment humanizing the works for beings in the spaces
they are viewed in.
I hope for viewers to pull from my work their own interpretations of the narratives while appreciating the use of surface texture, color, space and scale in my contemporary approach to oil painting.
