Artist Statement
What my work is all about:
​
My work is most often an exploration of positive and negative space within a composition, as well as a study of the harmony or discord between the two. My mediums are typically paint, plaster and wood and I almost always start with a photographic image. The completed work is a mixed media culmination of a multi-step, ever-evolving process.
