Artist Statement
I paint from a distinctly American experience. My subjects include landscapes, figures and a strong narrative element which elevates ordinary activities to sublime moments of awareness. As I work, the act of painting becomes intertwined with the act of seeing - a process that involves questioning general assumptions in order to arrive at a greater understanding.
A freelance designer/artist, I live and work in Chicago and am inspired by life in the city.
