Artist Statement

The images I paint are like entries in a scrap book.
They're conceptual snapshots of events, characters, moments of realization and dreams that shape my life. Some are recurring characters that represent a part of me I'd like to be less like. Others represent a person I'd like to be more of. They are my journal entries.
