Artist Statement
My paintings embrace the constraints of modest materials.
Colorful, textured works comprised of paper pulp and wood
serve as a shrug to the frenzy of new media. I use body language,
personal anecdotes, and current events as catalysts for studio
activity. My recent works explore enduring (common) technologies
that teeter on the threshold of relevance. They also question the
feasibility of maintaining a constant state of curated comfort.
