Artist Statement

I paint women as ideas or archetypes, co-existing with manifestations of the natural world. My work is part of an expanding series titled "Wild Side" that celebrates emotional complexity, feminine rebellion, and individual autonomy through the mode of iconic portraiture.

I have a style that is Expressive and character-driven, with a Graphic quality that recalls Commercial Art of the 20th Century. In each painting, I amplify the drama of liberated emotional realities through intense color, brushwork, and gesture. My practice revolves around immediacy, and I use a variety of techniques and technologies that help me work by instinct.
