Artist Statement

I aim to monumentalize the quiet moments in life and to create an allegory for the human experience through my paintings and drawings. This inspiration comes from observing nature, and looking for the metaphorical narratives that unravel in the environment that parallel life. My influences range from the Northern Renaissance and American Realists to the forested landscapes of Southern Georgia.
In painting what I know from daily life, I hope to capture the universal quality of human existence.
