Artist’s Statement
I am trained as an architect and, as such, approach painting design with a very similar sensibility. I feel
that I need to communicate the vernacular of place in a way that is deeply personal to me. I embrace a
dialogue between the real and imagined- seeking a way to allow myself to express my personal feeling of
being in a certain setting rather than being confined by the reality of it. That ebb and flow, the back and
forth, are what I find important and are my motivation for all of my work.
