I am fascinated by paints’ ability to capture psychological landscapes and fleeting emotions within it’s decorative surface. I graduated from a small figurative art college in the Northeast about a decade ago, and since moving to Tucson my acrylic paintings and works on paper have been informed by the natural and developed landscapes of Arizona. My recent work explores our neighborhoods and surroundings in bright forms, depicting spaces that contrast natural beauty with man-made artifice and the paradox of contemporary isolation.
