Artist statement

For me, painting is a way to connect with and deepen my understanding of what it means to see and be seen. It is a way to connect with both the primitive desire to stamp a handprint on a cave wall and the modern desire to capture the feelings and moments that become lost in the chaos and fragmentation of contemporary life.I aim to open up a space for more expansive and fluid explorations of what it means to be a viewer and an object, both vulnerable and empowered in the act of seeing.
