My recent work fuses abstraction and representation.

The work usually begins as an abstraction, but as the painting progresses I add in figures. For me, the figures are analogous to nouns in a sentence. The rest of the painting seems like a swirl of verbs and adjectives, and the noun anchors the image.

I hope the work communicates a sense of humor and playfulness as well as an engagement with the state of the world we live in today.

Although many issues are referenced in the work, the work itself remains non-linear, seeking to raise questions rather than to give answers.
