Artist Statement

For me painting is a way to reflect my experience of being. I draw inspiration from my immediate environment, which happens to be my hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. My perspective being highly influenced by my life of experiences here, I find the work can run the spectrum from loving to critical, sometimes arriving at both sentiments simultaneously.

Running alongside these currents of family and region is an equally deep belief in approaching painting similarly to how I navigate my daily experience, where outcomes shift and one is left to adapt & respond to things as they go along.
