Artist Statement

The fractured images in my paintings represents the gray within us-the mid-tones of life. Just as the colors opposite on the color wheel will neutralize the other creating beautiful mid-tones. The gray is the commonalities, the gray is found in the compromise. The gray is seen with empathetic eyes. My paintings explore moving through space and time in our physical bodies, finding and losing one another as we go.
