Artist Statement

I explore the interplay between physical sensations and a universally lived human experience in my work. Drawing from a personal inclination towards extremes, I strive to imbue my pieces with contrasting themes of pain and pleasure, activity and inactivity of the body, and the relationship between being an examiner versus examinee all in an effort to deepen our link to our bodies. Working with a variety of mediums, from ceramics to oil paint, I approach each piece with a desire to manipulate and convey what is unseen within these deeply personal sensations.

To capture the beauty and complexity of those experiences, I imbue my pieces with the sensations of contentment, discomfort, and pleasure in order to create a common ground with my viewers. There is a tactile allure that comes with working large-scale in fine art, and yet the regulatory regime of an artwork sitting beyond arm's reach can leave oneself aching for emotional satisfaction. Highly emotional, deeply personal, and yet universally lived human experiences are my core subject matter that bring my pieces from memories into reality. Whether my subject matter is viewed in their moment alone at home, on an examination table, or next to you in bed, I strive to remind the viewer that our body is undergoing constant emotional and physical pressure by utilizing highly active brushstrokes, rhythmically carved textures, and highly saturated colors in order to evoke a range of memories within the viewer's mind.
