Artist Statement

Whether representational or abstract, my interest in any artwork is to enhance the mystery of recognizable structures through the manipulation of light, color, and geometry.

My obsession with geometry traverses representation and abstraction. While my choice of subjects vary, I am interested in architectural structures, bodies, and landscapes as anchors for exploring relationships of light and color. Painting and drawing these subjects provides opportunities to closely observe how familiar environments maintain and regulate our relationships and identities, emphasizing “structure” in both a physical and symbolic sense.
