This is another in a series of small rectangular pieces. Working in this format, as opposed to my usual square, helps to keep my compositions from becoming formulaic.

Artist Statement

My love of process, action, and the physicality of paint are the driving forces of my work. I think about animals, the human body, and plant life and I attempt to create a world in which my painting, can embody all three simultaneously. I depict scenes that could take place in a rainforest, a pond, a laboratory, or inside the human body. I aim to create imagery that has the potential for that slippage.

Best advice you’ve been given • Just keep your hand moving. Get into the studio and even if you don’t feel inspired, pick up a pencil and paper and just start making marks.

Goals/Aspirations • To be able to support myself solely through my studio practice.

Favorite artist • Lari Pittman. I love the formal qualities of his work. There is so much to take in, yet it all holds together.

What are you reading • Stories from Jonestown by Leigh Fondakowski. I love non-fiction, it gives me insight into why people do the things they do.

Hope to learn how to • Scuba dive

You spend a lot of time thinking about • How to effectively communicate with my art students

Favorite musical artist • Interpol.

What do you do when not creating art • Teaching, spending time with my partner and dogs, and doing small home improvement projects.
