Artist Statement

Most of my inspiration comes from travel; looking at a window and wondering who dwells inside, the way plants climb and thrive on a balcony, and the beautiful colors of shutters or doors and the buildings on which they live. I want to make the viewer feel as if they just missed a person walk out of frame, or bubbles are just about to escape a fish’s mouth if they keep looking.

 

I paint to make the viewer feel an innocent, nostalgic feeling of wonder; they are viewing and savoring a quiet, intimate, yet fleeting moment and a snapshot of a much larger story that they have to imagine.

 

I use many flat layers, crisp lines, and fine details to convey the space and occasionally use non-traditional materials to add another layer of interest.
