Artist’s Statement

My paintings are created by fusing values, colors and forms into images that invite the viewer to create their own narrative and meanings. My main subjects are still life objects I find interesting when arranged in carefully planned compositions. I am interested in blending elements of a multitude of genres to create unique images, disconnected from current trends. I am fascinated by developing subtle textures that form under the enamel finish of dried walnut oil. I strive to create images that stand on their own and are free of context, time, narrative or explanation.
