I have worked to become a painter who searches for the spirit of each subject and bring it to life on the canvas; attempting to find that immortal spark and have a bit of it shine through in the attitude of whatever or whoever I’m painting. I enjoy portraying my experience of that spark through my art yet strive to allow the viewer their own interpretation of the moments surrounding each snapshot.
Where we find ourselves at any given moment is a testament to the countless events that brought us to that place. My job as a painter is to honor those experiences and hint at their influence on the present.
