We are becoming increasingly distracted from nature and have formed our own artificial landscapes. Our collective habitat is going through metamorphoses, where we are surrounded more and more by man made and technological structures and manipulations, and representations of things found outdoors.

I paint expressively in oils with mixed media – mostly collage – to convey the juxtapositions found in my environment, things that I find beautiful, insidious and somewhere in between. To convey emotion and movement, I work with my materials in layers, reworking areas and building up parts of the work with various media, such as cardboard containers, paint, charcoal, gift wrap paper. I rely mainly on improvisation and narration, with use of color and dynamic line work to carry off my pieces most effectively. With that said, I also set aside room for some stillness, quiet and calm in my work, which in turn conveys my thoughts on balance, juxtaposition and chaos coexisting in the worlds that I create. I ask the viewer to find their own correlations, solutions and resolutions to thoughts and ideas of which they might conceive while looking at my art.
