Statement

There is no life without light. I am enthralled and preoccupied by light’s incredible power to transform my perception of objects, spaces, and the human body. Revealing and obscuring forms, visual reality is in constant flux. Light is fleeting. Life is fleeting. Shadows move across the living room, white curtains become a dance of pale blue and evening’s orange light; my own skin dissolves or emerges from a blue wall. The inherent beauty I see in these small interactions drives my painting practice. In the form of mark and color, I record the beauty and complexity inherent in my mundane surroundings, giving testament to my conscious effort to be present in this world.
