Title:  "Merchant"

Acrylic and mixed media on canvas


Artist's Statement:

"Each work is painted and re-painted, taking on a new form with each layer until the correct image emerges.

In these works, ugliness, beauty, tragedy, and comedy coalesce to create chaotic worlds that reflect the human psyche.

I use materials non-hierarchically. Paint is often paired with fabric, paper, plaster, dirt, glue, plastic, thread, glitter, wood, cotton, shellac, and resin. This base materiality can reference the biological in the form of thick puddles of discolored resins or furry, hair-like clumps. For me, the works function best when they exist on the boundary between humor and pathos."


The artist holds a Master of Fine Arts degree (MFA)
