Many of my paintings use humor to connect with the viewer and grab their attention. By combining unrelated objects, I create a scene that first appears curious. Upon further reflection, the story becomes clear with the intent to entertain. The landscapes however focus on nostalgia to transport the viewer to a time or place that holds happy memories. I weave these personal and meaningful narratives into my work creating a visual biography. This approach allows the audience to intimately connect through events we've all experienced in our lives even if they are not exactly the same.
