Artist Statement: As an artist, I experience a visceral pleasure from the media in excess, especially the versatile and vibrant medium, acrylic paint. When painting, I push, pull, layer, and mix mounds of paint into new compositional and topographic scenarios- an intuitive process that is easy to get lost in. At times, the work teeters between three and two-dimensional art, exceeding further into space. Inevitably, the painting transcends my expectations and forms an authentic identity of its own.
