Statement:
My work expresses a love of systems and a catalogue of feelings and measurement. The paintings mark me and its messages. The work is labor- intensive utilizing dozens of layers of paints. I am currently creating Wealth and Benefits, a series of complex geometric patterns utilizing the rectangles as a motive applied to my long-term interest in economic systems. The paintings are acrylic, oil, or other mediums, dependent upon the need of each work.
