Painting & Drawing

“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. “ -Aristotle

Symbolic narrative is a constant in my still-life imagery. Everyday items from my ‘domestic landscape,’ have evolved into a characteristic iconography for expression.

I employ objects of chance; the wishbone, magic eight ball, bingo cards, dice, and hourglass to suggest hope and tension simultaneously. Fate, connection, vulnerability, and the divine are themes I personally enjoy revisiting.
Ultimately, I want my work to evoke curiosity and personal reflection.

I am influenced by vanitas painters as well as Frida Kahlo for her honest personal expression. Subtly exaggerating the effects of light and shadow on colors is one of the most engaging aspects of the painting process for me, allowing for a surreal realism in my paintings.

“In order to get to something universal
you must be very specific.”   – Max Beckman
