About

In my practice, I focus on the singular moment, drawn to painting for its unique ability to encapsulate context, emotion, and possibility within a two-dimensional frame. I view the medium of paint as a refined craft of single-frame storytelling; a tradition spanning millennia that continues to offer a potent vehicle for narrative.

This is why my work often centers around the extremes of the human experience. Fascinated by just how different everyone's lives can be, how one moment will differ drastically from another. I often study wars not for their horror, but for the extraordinary situations they create, though such intensity isn’t limited to politically defined wars; throughout history, people have endured profound extremes. From medieval witch burnings to modern nuclear disasters, human lives have repeatedly been shaped by moments of crisis. We continue to live through extremes, facing perhaps the biggest extreme of them all; our own extermination. It’s an experience so unconscionable it is hard to grasp, despite the fact that we are already living it.
