Artist Statement

This group of paintings is derived from a collection of lists and sketches made on sticky notes and folders, within the margins of notebook paper and sheet music when I probably should have been paying attention in class. As they accumulate over the years, I can’t seem to part with the tangential mess of thoughts, things I see or hear that resonate with me. I feel a duty to immortalize them in some sense, even if it is as simple as transforming them into fictional bands in an imaginary record collection.
