I thrive in the landscape of peculiar places - the odd and whimsical, the abstract and familiar yet just out of reach. My work embraces uncertainty and celebrates the strange. Childhood imagery often finds its way into my pieces: line drawings, playful expressions, and vibrant, graphic depictions of animals. These elements, along with nuances of human psychology originate in unexpected places—tree bark, computer screens, worm trails, shadows, leaves, mushrooms, twigs, and paint chips. My process begins with a photograph and evolves into something entirely different on the canvas, constantly rearranging visual data from the external world to align with the familiar imagery of my inner world.I weave these observations together to craft a narrative or motif, leaving much for the viewer to interpret. I consider my work successful when it prompts even a moment of curiosity, a second look. Their interpretations thoroughly amuse and delight me.
