ARTIST STATEMENT
“For many years, I’ve depended on narrative to make my paintings accessible, but in recent years people have had strong feelings of their own and interpreted them completely differently from me, which is fine. I decided to take a hint from that and produce images that I considered to be very beautiful, very mysterious, and very magical, but there is no intended storyline. The objects still have a specific place in my toolbox, but I feel people will enjoy it more if they see it as something they can take part in when discerning meaning.”
