My back­ground is in the Graphic Arts. I’ve stud­ied Adver­tis­ing, blend­ing my voice with those of my cowork­ers, sell­ing peo­ple things they don’t need and sep­a­rat­ing myself from my work.

I seek to com­mu­ni­cate with pic­tures, uni­ver­sally and across cul­tures, using my voice to explore the ele­ments of paint­ing and design shar­ing my vision with my audience.

My work explores the human form, not it’s sur­face beauty but the ambi­gu­ity of emo­tion that lies beneath. The thread that runs between the observer and the observed.

I am fas­ci­nated by the nat­ural world jux­ta­posed to the mech­a­niza­tion of mod­ern tech­nol­ogy. I blend ele­ments of plant repro­duc­tion and right angles into my work, the warm, expand­ing col­ors of the nat­ural world con­tained by or engulf­ing the cold, cal­cu­lat­ing grid of the mind. Order strug­gling with chaos, explor­ing the lim­its of the psy­cho­log­i­cal box and break­ing out of those restraints.
