Artist Statement

Like many artists, I’ve painted since I could hold a brush, but it wasn’t until I went to art school that I became seduced by the sensuous qualities of oil paint. It’s a medium that allows me to best communicate what I feel about a scene, and it has proven stability and permanence. My primary interest is in communicating a sense of what life is like in the twenty-first century. I find engaging scenarios everywhere, and am passionate about translating them to the canvas or panel, usually working on multiple pieces at a time.

Realism offers me a way to express the commonality of human experience to the widest range of viewers, as well as allowing me to follow in the tradition of genre painting. This narrative realism has a contemporary feel, with references to technology, our diverse culture, and the influence of the fashion world.
