My ARTIST STATEMENT 

Our lives are teeming with stories. On a daily basis each of us processes the events taking place in our own lives through our senses and emotions, which makes every moment an incredibly unique experience.  Whether it is the pleasure of a beautiful memory or the pain of a heartbreaking loss, the stories in my life constantly shape and inform my work.  I attempt to capture these moments, emotions and sensations and reinterpret my unique experience into a work of art that speaks to a universal experience, a moment of truth.  My paintings should not be strictly interpreted as a specific person, time or place; I hope they will instead be viewed as symbolic or allegorical, representing stories, places or experiences shared by millions of people.
