My subject matter is what happened surrounding me and inside me. I love to draw faces, and I always feel other feelings. My portraits are not literal representations of people posing or sitting. These are subjective portraits of the point of transition. All portraits reveal something about the subject, but they are open to many interpretations as they are enigmatic most of the time. My portraits are a shift between artistic styles and periods.

I choose to explore these ideas through my relationship with the medium; the materials and methods become the dominant driver in my work. I begin without predetermined conclusions, but with the simple intention to respond. Allowing my internal landscape to come forward, I work intuitively and abstractly, with as little self-censoring as possible, drawing from this vast, boundless, immeasurable space.

I layer colors play with space and contrast the solid with the ephemeral—the fixed with the fluid—to replicate the forces of nature at work. In my paintings, time is suspended, but we are just on the brink of chaos. The surface is often calm, but the tension is ever-present. Everything pulsates with on the verge of movement and change.
