In painting I react to a given space, how I exist, and interact within it.
I am investigating communication, interaction and traveling within a created
space. I am trying to figure out a particular place and time, and how it functions
The way we interact with our surroundings, what we choose to walk around,
move out of our way, and navigate through, is at the heart of my work. I find it
curious that we are creatures of habit and need the familiar to get comfort out of
our day. I am curious not only about the patterns that are created from familiar
habits and routines but, more recently, the patterns that surround one. These
forms in my paintings begin to be a reference to a particular place and time, now
operate somewhere in between the particular, physical pattern we can touch, like
a dish cloth to a less recognizable pattern such as musical notes, or walking. I take
in consideration the noises around us, patterns and objects within a particular place,
and how they have a place in this world at this time. A recent discovery through
painting is the way we live through the world, and how we make sense of it,
communicate to it, with one another through visual forms, signs, language and symbols.

I believe in making images and objects that raise questions about the world we live in
today, where it’s going and where we’ve been. I believe that paintings should be able
to provide a space where the imagined can exist. The process of painting, the dialogue,
and concerns, are always in motion.
