Artist Statement
Quirky characters is what I paint. Much of the time, I let spontaneity and being open create the
characters first. I later then organize these beings and put them in an environment where they live
and interact with each other.
The use of fluid lines and splashy shapes make up the paintings and sculptures. I use bright colors
to add cheer to the sometimes dark and ominous states of some of these characters. At times, these
images are autobiographical, and sometimes they are of people I know or have experienced.
It is my intention that I paint a world that is filled with the various states of the human condition and
how they relate to the rest of the world.
