Narratives
My paintings investigate the humorous intersection of the natural and artificial within the theater of daily life. Utilizing space and scale to accentuate the juxtaposition of the mundane and the mysterious, these works present the absurd as both subject and object. Occupying the space between history and technology these elusive narratives reveal the personal as universal by making the familiar fantastical.
Botanicals
The Botanicals are an ongoing series of small paintings that serve as a meditative practice of careful, quiet observation. Through discovery then mindful study of leaf structure and form, I venture to touch the spirit contained within nature’s fragility, mystery, and beauty. Every one an ode wrought in pursuit of the ineffable.
