STATEMENT

I work primarily in watercolor and oil mediums, creating works that are recognizable in form and subject but expanded and reimagined to include looser interpretation in my watercolors and added texture and interest in my oils. My paintings focus on societal creations—local architecture, bourbon bottles, matchbooks—more than nature as I find the evidence of people makes a painting infinitely more interesting.
