CURRENT PROJECTS
As you view my art you will find that I work in a variety of media using various processes and techniques such as automatic drawing, architectural perspectives and abstractions, distorted and evolving patterns, dynamic and monochrome color palettes to create suggestive fictional narratives that are both open and grounding. I feel as if I am manifesting objects and images of places and spaces into existence that sometimes come across as childish memory or a vivid hallucination of some fantastic reality.
At times it seems like an amalgamation of places and things that I have seen or experienced. Reality turned upside down, filtered, infused, reorganized through my imagination and reproduced on my own terms. My art is how I communicate with people to illustrate the depth of my experience and the wonderings of my mind. It is my truth. My hope is that when you view my work you allow your mind to wonder through and around each piece and find something familiar, something mysterious, something that stays with you.
