ABOUT

My creative work involves large scale canvas paintings and public murals; my goal is to express myself through color, dynamic movement, and finding the path to help my audience explore my subjects in new and exciting ways.

I have always been fascinated by architecture, both in how planning and construction created stability but also how a building came to represent something more nuanced about a place and the relationship to it. I think of my paintings in a similar way; when I first have an idea it is often a three dimensional image in my mind that I then need to figure out how to translate to the surface, while still maintaining the movement and qualities that create an emotional connection to our world. 

Much of my work also explores geometry and the relationship between structure and nature. I draw inspiration from the geometry that is found around us in the natural world, as well as how humans have learned to arrange that geometry to create structure. I have also always been deeply inspired by the way in which art changes a place, be it a wall or a building, from unremarkable and unseen to emotionally charged and dynamic, and I am constantly searching for ways to create this transformation through my own art.
