I’ve long been fascinated by individual states of being and the interactions people have with each other

and the world around them. I enjoy the way a look, a pose, or simple expression can shed light on an

individual’s inner thoughts, and in turn, allow me to reflect on my own. In many of my compositions, I strive

to capture a depth of human experience in a seemingly single experience, the many moments that live

within a moment.

Influenced by the compositions of Japanese Ukiyo-e prints and the figurative expressions and

brushstrokes of realist and impressionist artists, I attempt to create a narrative of people within the worlds

they occupy. It is in this relationship of the figure connecting with the setting, that there is an entry point

for understanding the complexity of the human experience. As the figure reconciles their place in the

world, I invite the viewer, grounded in their own worldview and experiences, to create a corollary narrative
