Statement
I try to understand the world by putting it on paper. My mind takes things literally and painting helps me to work through my reality. It takes me through my emotions and helps me see what life is really about. I can control how much detail I decide to put on paper. Even when reality is out of control, my paintings are one place that I always have control. Painting is someplace that I enjoy, even when working through unpleasant moods.
I work in both oil and watercolor because they are so different from each other. Watercolor helps me let go because it is a loose medium while oil allows me to work for hours putting every last detail into the piece.
I will continue to explore my world through my art and push the boundaries of how my art shows my world view.
