To achieve a sensory reaction, I want to push paint in a way that leads to a visceral and physical experience for the viewer. I use my movement and muscle memory to translate ideas and emotions into the paintings. Each piece builds on the next. Texture relates to touch and color relates to sight and smell. The works stem from thinking about a memory, a feeling, or an interaction but the action of paint is the source of the direction of each painting.

I want the viewer to question if forms are floating or falling or sitting in a space and test where something lives in space within a painting. I am interested in a balance between a perceived beauty and visual disgust or comfort and discomfort. The forms interact and the juxtaposition of colors, textures, and shapes builds the painting for the viewer to unravel. The most minimal mark can lead to an immediate association. Figures are born from my movement, the action of paint on the surface, and a sense of recognition in organic forms.
