Artist Bio

“I am interested in trying to capture and recreate shapes and textures subject to change, subjects that will naturally decay and devolve with time. As I paint, life moves forward—my children grow, days pass, and the painting itself evolves until it becomes a fixed moment in an ever-changing world. I am one of those people who does tend to rush things, I talk quickly, I often don’t look where I’m going because I’m in a hurry, but in my studio I am able to be slow and deliberate.

In a world where some days it feels everything moves too quickly: flowers bloom and wither, phones ring, clouds dissipate; an artwork has the ability to stand still.”
