Artist Statement

My paintings are often drawn from these “frozen moments,” the moments extracted from a broader, but unrevealed context. The images I paint are drawn from an imagined world, yet they include common, often ignored or forgotten objects and icons of pop culture and design that inhabit our lives, demanding our attention anew. I like images that I’ve carried with me since my youth that reflect our shared experience, the things that make us laugh and that reflect who we are as a culture.
