Artist Statement

In my paintings I try to create images that are neither general nor specific in visual description, images that are more like a dream or a memory or perhaps a familiar feeling you can’t quite place. You only know that somehow, someway, you connect. It is that place in-between the conscious and the subconscious I am most interested in exploring. I search for that certain something that takes me from the everyday and transports me to some other place. This dreamlike place seems somehow very familiar yet undeniable. It is like pushing through a fog to get to a memory and as you immerse yourself in the fog, you begin to reawaken. I like to think of these moments as memories of the soul.

I create my paintings with the sincere hope I can somehow see a glimpse of my vision and share this miraculous world as I see it. I hope these dreamlike images spark a moment where the viewer’s soul begins to recall.
