Artist's Statement: I do not actively pursue subjects, the muses make themselves apparent to me, in my dreams and my reality. I am a medium in which they guide and my experiences and desires lend themselves to what they wish to communicate. They are concerned with fragments and my perception fixes itself on a single point: a hip, a flower, a tile and often matter ceases to exist past these points- there is a void, uncertainty, or world that exists outside the painted subject.
