Raised in a family of craftspeople meant growing up in a house perpetually under construction and interrogating the inner workings of things while finding unexpected mash-ups. The look of remodel with mismatched flooring and unfinished walls influenced my aesthetic.

My paintings are meditations, an attempt at quieting the bombardment of stimuli and intently listening. Individual elements in my work have unique voices and I respond to the conflict created when they are placed side by side. Like a peacekeeper, I search for points of connection and allow the work to grow organically.
