Artist Statement
My interest as an artist is related to how people build personal identity in relation to personal memory and their social world. The situations the individual has experienced can drastically alter the shape of a person’s memory and furthermore, a person’s identity and social perception.
As a painter, I represent figures trapped in an environment of uneasiness and flux. Some or all of the people in my paintings are concealed by a veil or mask. Partially concealing the identity of an individual removes the personal relationship viewers would expect to feel for those represented. Each character in my paintings has become one with their environment and can evolve toward empowerment or devolve into personal displacement and loss of identity.
My technique involves painting and craping many layers of oil paint. Most of my planning and compositional arrangements are done on my painting during the process.
