Rarely do we pause long enough to look past the external and recognize when another experiences a fleeting moment of vulnerability. While these candid moments often go unnoticed, I am attracted to them because I believe that they reflect the complexity of our true selves and help instigate a dialogue about perception and the representation of self.
To aptly capture the awkward qualities that embody the intricate balance of the human condition, I often carry a camera for the purpose of snapping spontaneous photographs. The unguarded moments that I catch of my friends, family, and even myself, provide the basis for my work.
My practice is what continues to enhance my understanding of the collective conscious. When I paint, I find that the unpredictable nature of the material consistently pushes me to explore the unknown. A process of true discovery, painting has enabled me to better recognize the beauty that resides within each of us despite our continued tendency to obfuscate the essence of our beings.
