Artist Statement

I see spraying as an instrument for ideas, free work combines elements of art recorded and contemporary cultural influences, creating employment about the human condition. What draws me to painting is how directly falls in and out of dialect and how the image evolves go on board the canvas.

I am interested in to whatever manner the outside world is being innate or folded into the painting put on one side time.

The recent paintings show figures refurbish interpersonal exchanges or degrees of hostility and withdrawal. Many of the contemporary work involve portraiture and narrative situations that are created from a diversification of source materials,

The work itself becomes a way to confront my anticipatory ideas. It is a way bare me to connect thoughts, observations, build up ideas with material. Painting becomes far-out negotiation between intention and materiality.

The abstraction of uncertainty or not knowing job closely tied to the painting action. This involves the accumulation and collaging of genres, painting languages and references onto the canvas. The overpainted versions of the painting are often skinned and reworked to reveal previous copies and ‘mistakes’, creating a cannibalized in reply version that references slowness and time.
