I am a draftsperson and painter who explores the multifaceted nature of the human experience through portraiture and other works that seek to express the intimate perspectives of people. I am fascinated by the human animal, the human experience, and what makes the intricate, intimate details of our individual and collective lives tick. Through my art, I strive to bring the inner world of the subject to the surface through an interplay of form, light and color. I work primarily in oils on canvas, using a contemporary style that features bright colors, rich texture and expressive brush strokes. Whether I’m painting a portrait, landscape or other subject matter, my goal is to provide a window into what the world looks like through the lens of the other while uncovering the reality that our shared human experience – elation, joy, pain, guilt, excitement, thirst, and all the rest – dwarf our differences if we allow it to.
