In the natural world, I am drawn to moments of repetition: a grid of windows on a building or the shadows made from leaves on a tree, the line made by traffic lights down a dark road, the groupings of pastries in a bakery window, the whispers of conversations in a crowded room, or the bass drum in a symphony. The objects being observed become the focal point of the frenetic world surrounding it.   My work attempts to address these dialogues and spaces between the relationships and the idiosyncrasies of individual details.

Using transparencies, opacities, color and layering, details are either blurred or pronounced, intentionally concealing or explicitly revealing unsuspected moments; an idea of having noticed something that you’re not supposed to or not noticing something that is blatantly obvious. The specificity within my paintings, drawings and prints are due to the fact that every mark is made by my own hand. Although most marks are deliberate, mistakes do occur and are gladly welcomed. A drip, a splatter, a scratch or an unexpected color grouping may end up being the jumping off point for my next piece. Once my paintings leave my studio, they are then caught up in the complex relationship of viewer to image, with the viewer bringing their visual history to the images in return.
