Ashes
oil on canvas
24 x 24 in.

My work explores themes of memory, isolation, and the transient moments in everyday life. The figures in my paintings appear isolated, sometimes dissolving into the background becoming controlled by their surroundings. Though these moments, both remembered and imagined, are from the past, I hope to continue their stories onto the canvas, allowing the paint to recover what is often overlooked and forgotten.
