I make paintings that engage ambiguity and subtlety to capture the spirit of things. Manipulating thin layers of oil paint with scratchy, sweeping brush strokes, the vague forms that emerge on the surface unravel organically. Elements often resemble plant matter, decomposing food, flesh, or angelic forms, evoking the rawness and profundity in small, everyday life forms and processes.
