Artist Statement
Instincts drive these paintings. Intuitive gestures placed on top of photographic images creates a relationship that questions the “real” versus the “illusion”, the “literal” versus the “abstract”. Interruption, open ends, and illusions are manifested within the space of the paintings. The photo images play with larger metaphors and ideas to express the classical contrast of Eros and Thanatos in a contemporary and ambiguous context. I draw from basic, historical modalities including the portrait, landscape, and still life. I am interested in the history of painting and its contemporary role in art.
