Painting is like rubbing my thumb against a scar and remember where it came from, not remembering feels like floating in light and color in a dark and distant galaxy, un-tethered to the part of me that has words and answers. Painting is a telling of darkness to light; absence to texture; the sensation of a memory, a journal entry that might or might not have happened but has all the texture and possibility of a galaxy of words and stories. 

I was born in Austin, Texas and currently live and work in Brooklyn, NY.  I like to work in the early mornings and I am inspired by the slowly lightening sky, the can people, drunks, garbage trucks, city smells and texture which all come together to inspire my use of color, form and medium. I employ repeating layers of pigment and resin, layered with oil painted dots and lyrical forms. I then attach either clay heads or string or painted vellum; or I cut holes in the canvas and sew in paper with pen and ink drawings. I call this technique compound lyrical expressionism.
