Statement
I make observational art of the people in the world around me. Through traditional methods and with a contemporary mindset, I paint, print, and draw thoughtful figurative works and portraits.
​
My current work considers the relationships and underlying narratives that permeate all our lives. I am exploring how we perceive them, either collectively or individually. Whether I use these themes in a strict sense or as an armature that supports my work, I am looking to better understand how we are all tied together.
