Artist’s Statement :

I’ve been told I have a great deal of anxiety. I can only wonder if that anxiety is a reflection of my environment- a fleeting space composed of failed attempts, dilapidated infrastructure and heroic endeavors. The beautiful entropy that surrounds me both confounds and enthralls me. My intent, through the act of painting, is to achieve a narrative that is raw, excavated and unrefined while still creating a somewhat descriptive space.
