I approach my work almost as a diary, admitting to my own failures and referencing personal events in my life. I am attempting to create personal narratives. The artist hand plays a significant role in my work. I believe it makes a more sincere and interesting gesture. The flat map-like style of paint handling displays a lighthearted tone which functions as an entrée point for the viewer. I use collage as an outlet to create unconventional spaces. My process is based on a reaction of marks. This cause and effect way of making lends its self to surprise. The unexpected juxtapositions of objects and non-sequitar motives are humorous and confusing. I am attempting to work in mediums, which include painting, drawing, and installations to tell a coherent narrative of these imaginative places and ideas that parallel with my own life.
