ARTIST STATEMENT:

In my work, I aspire to the kind of storytelling achieved in dreaming, where a resonant reality is built outside of physical and temporal logic. Each piece illustrates a single moment of conscious existence by layering symbolism, drawing from diverse, sometimes deliberately clashing cultural artifacts.

When it’s successful, standing in front of the large-scale painting and staring, that moment has a feeling of being suspended, silent and timeless.

BIO:

I am a designer and painter from Baltimore. After receiving my BFA in Illustration and Graphic Communications from WashU in St.Louis, I traveled widely, working as a design and illustrator in Chicago, Philadelphia, Madison, Italy and the Czech Republic, before settling back in Baltimore in 2001. Since then I have worked as a Creative Director in digital design, and a painter.
