Statement: I combine images from photographs, cinema and literature to produce a dreamlike atmosphere using acrylic paints. These atmospheres can exist between realism and partial abstraction to create a magical quality to the environment which is further embellished with vivid colors and inverted tones suggesting that a transformation is taking place. I'm interested in creating a narration within these shifting landscapes that can include explorations into human relationships with authority, nature, reality and cosmic forces. This narration is purposefully left open allowing the viewer to participate in the dialog.
