Artist Statement
Still. Life.
Cumulative life experiences irreversibly alter us all. My paintings honor the transformative effects of time on the physical world and celebrate the richness and resilience of the human spirit. I invite the viewer to explore beneath the surface to find the restrained yet palpable eternal energy radiating from within. In a nod to iconography, 23k gold leaf inspires reverence for the otherwise ubiquitous.
