Sourced from observation, memory and imagination, I paint what I see, or have seen.

In recent work, everyday objects are arranged against a backdrop of pop culture icons. A rough and tumble paint application keeps pace with the sometimes irreverent subject matter. Surfaces are activated by texture + abrasions. Detail is sometimes enhanced, sometimes diminished. Color is pushed to the edge of naturalism. A rawness is invited in. I continually experiment with methods, materials, and subjects, seeking to expand and refresh my art making habits.
