ARTIST STATEMENT:
I enjoy recreating the way that I see my surroundings on a daily basis: in contrasting, bold blocks of shapes and saturated colors. I sometimes envision entire live spaces and moments as complete works of art. At other times, a single object or form, removed from its surroundings, may be the subject of my work. These visual ‘snapshots’, whether based on my daily surroundings, moments captured, or single objects, are then translated into mixed media pieces; mostly involving acrylic paint, photography, polymer lifts, screen-printing and collage. Having a background in graphic design, my work is also influenced by typography, shape and line. I aim to create paintings that celebrate both art and design.
