Artist statement: I paint whatever inspires me. Oftentimes that is things that I am passionate about such as animals or the human condition. Other times it could be about a dream I had, current events and social injustices in the world, or visualizing an experience. My work is rooted in realism due to my classical training, but has a sense of emotional expression with quick brushstrokes and heavy application of paint.
