My work examines causal relationships, incentives, and social dynamics. Many of the narratives come from personal experience but are open to interpretation. They take into account our notions of beauty, nostalgia, artifice, and commerce. Its how we negotiate etiquette, ethics, our sense of self, aesthetics, and community. My process often begins with word games in which I try to come to a visual approximation of a word or phrase. I incorporate a variety of mediums and techniques. My paintings vary from simple mixed media to classical painting that may consist of 12 to 15 layers of paint.
