Artist Statement
My art continues to be about observation and storytelling. Recently figures have appeared in my work, as I attempt to understand humanity and our current place in history. I primarily use traditional glaze oil painting techniques to create contemporary artwork. I am inspired by the ironic fleeting moments in everyday life, our relationships with each other and seeing the world from a unique perspective, both literally and figuratively. I invite the viewer to continue the stories for themselves.
