My interest in painting's capacity to represent subjective experiences is the foundation of my studio practice. My current work is grounded in the following questions: How is space experienced subjectively, and how are these experiences reconstructed in our memories? How might time's passage be expressed in the static frame of a painting? Finally, what role might painting have to play in addressing the environmental urgencies of the present moment? With these in mind, I use the medium to mine the poetics of small gestures and encounters in daily life.
