Artist Statement

I think of my work as a conversation between abstraction and figuration—some metaphorical territory between word and image. I like upending genres — still lives as landscapes & vice versa, liquid landscapes, gestural mixed with linearity. I build color in overlays, the traces of what’s beneath suggest dimension and depth. My medium is usually oil or acrylic, on paper or canvas, but color is my painting’s engine: its power, nuance & emotion compressing two dimensions into something resonant.
