Artist Statement

My work stems from my fascination with people and explores the observable identity of said person. I see observable identity as the individual qualities associated with the process of observation. This can include mannerisms, posture, interactions within a space, etc. My work explores the unconscious and subconscious mind  and how people find comfort in various scenarios. 

While I have primarily worked in painting and drawing, I do have plans to explore a more visceral painting and sculpture/installation.
