Artist Statement

I am a gestural figurative artist who is more interested in the internal than the external. I work from figures and then add layers like an assemblage also found in my visual journals. My drawings take their own shape because I treat the figure as an abstraction rather than a portrait, it allows me to create imagined beings. Rather than reproducing a person, I reflect emotions, experiences, or moments in our shared experiences. These moments are referenced in provocative titles.
