Jan 2, 2025 – Feb 11, 2025As a painter, I primarily use acrylic paints. I express my subjects through a minimalist approach, utilizing color, line, texture, and shape to evoke the desired emotional response and convey my interpretation of the subject.

This individual experience brings me the most joy. Inspiration often starts with a subject already in mind or is gathered from various sources, such as personal experiences, reading, music, or discussions. I typically use brushes on canvas when I paint, sometimes beginning with minimal preliminary drawings.

Jan 2, 2025 – Mar 31, 2025My multi-media practice finds its psychological analogs in blurring beauty and grotesquery, nostalgia, and critique. I’m interested in the universal psychology of the every day, then making it my own. Using recognizable household objects, I paint and deconstruct them, transforming these banal objects into sculptures. I situate this practice in a place where high and low interact and cross-pollinate. In so doing, the work suggests an underground or alternative narrative of how and why visual ideas develop; because my language draws in such a large part from the private realm of domestic environments, the work elicits emotional responses that are both uncannily familiar and disarmingly strange.
