Statement

My work primarily focuses on the abstracted landscape.  I am fascinated by the connection between place and memory, and I strive to explore the space where these two intersect; where the tangible and intangible meet and where our perception of reality becomes hazy.  Where what and how we remember informs how the world looks to us.

Working intuitively, my paintings begin as explorations of color and shape.  During the process, accumulated memories and emotions chime in and the final version eventually reveals itself.  Whether in abstracted or landscape form, I want to evoke a feeling of nostalgia - maybe even déjà vu - within the viewer, transporting them to a place that feels at once unfamiliar yet oddly like home.
