STATEMENT
I am interested in
the roles fiction and
fantasy play in helping us
to understand and resolve
conflict and anxiety. My
paintings serve as portals
to explore and invent an
imaginary place. As this
place evolves, I often
consider the way memory
fuses with our
imagination to create a
vision of the future, and
how this projection affects
our hopes and plans.

For years my
work was derived from
walks in nature, drawing
map-like images from a
recollected landscape. Now, as I piece together this fictional place, I
think about the hypothetical harmony of civilization and wilderness,
that radiant illusion of utopian myth. I collect fragmented images of
nature and architecture, trees and humans, stones and bones, roofs
and mountains, forest and cities, overlapping them in a composition
that floats somewhere between the dreamy blur of speculation and the
crisp edge of an abruptly broken vision.
