I am a painter and printmaker who explores concepts of change in my work. I create angular, colorful compositions that experiment with light, shape, transparency, and repetition. My subject matters are interior spaces, urban landscapes, and still lifes of models of buildings I’ve created out of paper.
Rather than documenting a single moment in time, my work captures the layers that exist when recalling a memory, experiencing a place after having not visited for decades, or reading a page from a childhood journal. Rarely, would a single image come to mind in these instances, but rather a layered experience of emotions, curiosity and storytelling.
I create my work in a series - either by repeating a composition in different mediums or by creating a body of work of a single subject depicted from multiple vantage points. Since each piece holds a conversation with the next piece created, I like to couple later work with early experiments and studies.
These acts of repetition allow for both a deeper familiarity with the subject matter and creates a natural distance from when I first experienced it.
