Returning to the figure felt like the only way I could move forward to understand the times we are in. It is the language that can more directly relate issues we face on a daily basis.
 
Each piece captures an instant of human experience by visually delving into complex memories, emotions, and reactions.  The canvases establish a fleeting psychological space in which the figures, colors, shapes and patterns seek recognition, understanding, and relief.  Difficult and complex memories are the foundation from which I begin my work. I bring those moments to the surface to exist in a beautiful way.​
