Letting You Into Me (2005)
acrylic on wood
15 x 15 in.
My life is an experiment, and my paintings a journal of my daily life. In Spirit my work is a combination of surrealism and figurative expressionism. Through those core principles, honest introspection, and an improvisational working process, I paint the images that tug at my subconscious. Each finished painting adds a small part to the whole and slowly I attempt make sense of the world to myself. Through endless painting, I let these bits and pieces of myself grind and churn against each other, swaying in and out of focus until the message becomes visible. I then can step back and observe myself and those moments of my internal life. This simple reason is why I started painting and will continue to paint for the rest of my life.
