Painting, to me, is a science, is a way of making sense of the world,
of breaking things down into basic shapes, colors, and moments.
I've been drawing and painting since childhood, and in 2002
received a BFA from Boston University. When looking at models,
I look for the space between, framing models in ways that are
unexpected. Crafting images of the human body is always satisfying to
me because it is always new. While we are all fundamentally
the same, everything is different upon closer inspection.
I work quite deliberately, consciously employing both traditional and
innovative techniques. I enjoy a colorful palette and studying how
background colors seep into subjects. Smaller works are gouache on
paper; this medium allows the pigment to sit on top
of the paper, allowing for the brightest of colors. Some of my
larger pieces are oil on paper, where pigment is literally floating,
suspended in oil, even when dry, giving it an almost human glow.
