STATEMENT

Whether created with pen, brush, gouge, or knife, my work is rooted in the intuitive act of drawing. The images I make are based around speed and ownership of my intrinsic mark-making. Trained as an illustrator, I seek to communicate varied succinct ideas, and I am intrigued by how my lexicon can recontextualize an image or subject. Though frequently rooted in historical reference, my figurative iconography often correlates to the undercurrents of modern anxieties. In my personal work, character's physical distortions and often harried expressions reflect the experiences of living in an increasingly complicated world, one where processing our own experiences has become more and more difficult.
