“A picture is a secret about a secret, the more it tells you the less you know.” - Diane Arbus
I have always been a narrative painter, interested in exploring small moments in time that help define our connection- or disconnection to ourselves and to each other.
Most of my work involves intuitive juxtaposition of images in both real and imagined spaces. Rather than begin with the narrative intact, I generally start with a singular image and allow the content to unfold as I work. This process often results in unexpected relationships and multiple layers of meaning in the finished painting.
