Biography

Painting serves as my record of interactions with the material structures in and around the studio. Sensing potential in objects, shapes, debris, and detritus, I scavenge subjects that end up initiating drawing and compositional problems. Combining and subtracting found forms, I literally build and demolish a painting’s composition over the course of its making. As in construction work, I paint on a scale that is decided by my body, so as to become a performer or a painting implement. I am both a studio artist developing controlled methodology and an experimental researcher open to chance encounters and prompts.
