My paintings are manifestations of life’s emotions. Happiness, pain, love, and resentment all inhabit the world that is created on the canvas. The imperfection of the human condition lives through the intertwined gesture, shape, and color while being surrounded by an abundance of room to breathe. The pictures reflect the feelings of the viewer; there is no single motif to define each experience. Throughout the pictures the dualities of stillness and motion; concentration and void; softness and clarity – coexist and define each other; mimicking our shared experience of emotion.
