ARTIST STATEMENT   

I approach my paintings with the same curiosity I have for any new place I might visit. It's not always possible to predict the behavior of materials, so instead I come to appreciate their innate character, how they interact, and the differences between them. The figurative imagery that unfolds implies an open-ended narrative. An interest in the emotional lives of animals, both human and non-human, has me chasing invented story lines or characters as they stray toward the surreal.
