about my work
Most, but not all, of my paintings express views on current social and political issues in our world
and how we may respond to such events, focusing on individual realizations and what these moments look and feel like.
In these paintings, I explore the psyche of contemplation, perseverance and resiliency
as one is confronted with doubt, defenselessness and insecurity.

The compositions invoke varying degrees of tension and desire, introducing the sensitivities and
restlessness found in life. The pieces may feature intriguing, possibly vulnerable, figures surrounded
by colorful materials. Together, these images represent an observable harmony and beauty
that can blanket a complex, intangible ugliness.

Some of the works I make simply for the sake of creating: nothing more, nothing less. That is one of the beauties of art.
