Artist Statement: I'm an abstract painter often using found objects as my canvas. Currently, I'm making mixed-media works that hover between painting, drawing, and assemblage. Using a combination of found materials as well as paint, wire, and string, I create reductive and meditative works that invite contemplation. As I make art, I am communicating primarily with myself subconsciously. I can't always articulate exactly what I am trying to say, but hope to connect with the viewer in a way that encourages them to contemplate their own concerns.
