About the Artist

Since first beginning to paint, I have- by default- treated painting as a method of self-analysis. I view it as a mechanism to pull the things from me that need to be exposed and examine them in the light. I have never painted with any intended message to the viewer. I am driven only by the thought of honestly exposing my inner world to myself: with the unintended function of displaying- on the canvas- commonalities between us all. There is no overarching thesis to my works other than openness and honesty.
