Artist’s statement:
I’ve always been a misfit, drawn to the imperfections of lived-in lives, attracted by the odd and messy paths that humans create for themselves.
In highlighting the architecture of the familiar, I use paint to find new ways to see and appreciate our common understandings. What makes a home, or a community? My paintings are evidence of the process of learning about the world.
Show description:
This intimate group of paintings use rich color and brushwork to describe my affection for the small moments and details of the human experience.
Using photos from my daily walks and scenes around my home, I crop and manipulate the images until they focus on what is important to me. I work hard to share the feeling of a time and place, sometimes painting a scene over and over.
Landscape, still life, domesticity, all share a connection as evidence of humans living their messy, beautiful lives.
