ARTIST STATEMENT
Abstract expressionism traditionally idolizes individual moments. My bold abstractions tell entire stories through vivacious mixed media like acrylic and spray paint with a focus on climax and culmination– the end results of real interactions. I work entirely in abstraction because I’m seeking abstract themes from the in-between. My multidisciplinary practice spans studio painting, public murals, and client commissions, united by a signature sense of gesture and purpose. Stories serve my greatest inspiration, but their perspective springs from my own.
