Painting

I am haunted by my dreams and memories; they are ever-present in my art. Working from these past experiences I translate objects and people into simplified forms, colors, and lines. As my paintings transform into a finished piece colors change and objects shift. I create a visual language that provokes emotions and promotes automatic associations between my work and the viewer’s subconscious. The resulting image, like my memory, is a distortion of the truth. This stitching together of emotions, dream language and reality is represented physically in the way that the surface is constructed. I often cut, tear, and sew on the canvas, or combine it with other fabrics in order to create a uniquely textured surface.
