I am a multidisciplinary artist whose practice is grounded in painting. Across media, whether two-dimensional or three-dimensional, my approach to composition, surface, and color draws from painting's material syntax and history. Conceptually, my work exists in dialogue with contemporary modes of mass production and material connotation while engaging the art-historical frameworks that inform it.
My palette for each work or series is systematically constructed and prioritizes exaggerating color and value relationships over observational color. My compositions allow positive and negative space to be equally considered. I produce my work as an examination of the picture plane as a unified space rather than addressing my subject matter individually. My current work investigates the relationship between still life and mass-produced decorative objects as an exploration, rather than a critique, of the form, practical function, and meaning of these objects, and how they differ from their art-historical counterparts.
