Artist Statement:
I have always been fascinated with old photographs, so candid in our attempt to document the everyday and how easily these images can become icons. My work is a multi-layered evolution of vivid color, textural shapes and long forgotten photographic images of nonchalant figures. While identity remains anonymous, a sensitivity to time and space takes over. As i paint in the round , i offer no beginnings or ends, simply taking the viewer on a journey by offering snapshots of information buried along the way. Each layer being a moment, a new thought, sometimes revealing what came before and at other times, hidden as the momentum continues.
