My paintings are a study of memory and time.

I explore the passage of time and its organic effects on urban spaces, surfaces and human stories.

We are reminded that each of us is a tiny facet in an expansive natural world.

 

We exist in a present moment that is buttressed by a rich and layered past and an ever-unfolding future. This broadened scope is liberating, and offers a sense of respite from the limitations of our individual lives.
