Artist’s Statement

Painting is my practice. I go to my studio to look for answers to my own visual questions.

I am fascinated by all paintings as representations of culture. My memory bank of paintings forms the subject matter of my own work. My paintings involve examining the visual (spatial) and conceptual construction of the field of painting itself.
