“I make paintings and drawings that are like observations around a process of inner unfolding. The act of seeing itself holds many relationships between worlds, and I am interested in the boundary lines between them. How figuration relates to and interacts with mood and belief to inform and outline a more cohesive means for capturing a composition that means something to me. I want to strike a balance between my inner world and the physical world around me as a means of coming closer to that universal boundary that contains and shapes our shared human experience.”
