Artist's Statement
I paint in search of the truth.
Beyond the physical and psychological masks society wears, there are answers that lie buried deep.
Each painting is created using an acrylic impasto technique. The image is created by deconstructed painted layers. Using palette knives to scrape through the paint, my journey takes me beneath; it takes me deeper, to the real story that lies buried.
With the removal of each layer the painting reveals itself to me.
By removing layers, I ask people to see through the surface of the painting. To look beyond subject matter because as in life the real truth lies buried below the surface. The colors, the depth, the shadows are but a glimpse of the dance between the psychological and the physical. Faceless figures inhabit each piece because I fear as a society; we no longer see beyond, past the face, content with the superficial, we are losing our true connection to one another.
My paintings involve themes of the personal: fragmented dreams, active memories, curiosity and opinions about the unfortunate so
