“Against the Dying of the Light”
original artwork / acrylic on panel box, natural edges / 44"w x 32"h x 1.5"d / 2021

Memories do not exist solely on their own; they are persistently entwined with the physical places where they occurred. In my paintings, fragments of landscape and abstracted architecture stand in for everything I have lived through in those places. My art depicts multiple locations simultaneously to convey the impact and accumulation of identity-shaping experiences.
This painting has a lot of value contrast, and I chose the title, “Against the Dying of the Light”, to reference that contrast. The reason that we're able to see/appreciate the light areas is because of the dark that they're next to. Even though dark sometimes has a bad/gloomy connotation, without it, everything would feel the same. I think this applies to art compositions AND experiences in our lives.
“Out There”
original artwork / acrylic and spray paint on panel box, natural edges / 24"w x 30"h x 1.5"d / 2023

Memories do not exist solely on their own; they are persistently entwined with the physical places where they occurred. In my paintings, fragments of landscape and abstracted architecture stand in for everything I have lived through in those places. My art depicts multiple locations simultaneously to convey the impact and accumulation of identity-shaping experiences.
Sometimes my paintings include both interior and exterior views of architecture, but this painting definitely leans toward the exterior views. As suggested in the title, the building forms are depicted from a distance, "Out There". I think this implies some time has elapsed since the experiences within those spaces and they can be viewed/understood more objectively than before.
“The Lay of the Land”
original artwork / acrylic and charcoal on panel / 48"w x 32"h x 1.5"d / 2024

Most of my paintings (including this one) are based on the idea that who we are as individuals is a collection of all these different experiences that we’ve had in different places. I combine fragments from those places to suggest this layered process of “becoming”. The imagery in this painting comes from several abstracted views (interior and exterior) of places I've lived, worked, or gone to school. The title "The Lay of the Land" suggests this is the current state of things, but the layering present within the piece implies that even as we’re living our lives now, there’s this whole, underlying past- running below it all- that continues to influence us.
“Negotiating Past Fragments”
original artwork / acrylic on panel box, natural edges / 36"w x 36"h x 1.5"d / 2020

In my paintings, fragments of landscape and abstracted architecture stand in for everything I have lived through in those places. My art depicts multiple locations simultaneously to convey the impact and accumulation of identity-shaping experiences.
This painting is one of my personal favorites, largely because it marks a stylistic shift for me. Previously, my work had lots of layers (of course), but things felt more flat and merged together. With this one, I experimented with how to have each layer remain distinct; it resulted in a deeper (but confusing!) sense of space. Exactly what I wanted--this feeling that you could somehow move/navigate your way through the different parts of the painting. The title, "Negotiating Past Fragments", references this idea of navigating our past experiences.
“Visions of Overwhelm”
original artwork / acrylic on panel, natural edges / 30"w x 40"h x 1.5"d / 2023

If you don't like bold colors, busy stripes, and clashing perspectives, well... this might not be the painting for you! Filled with fragments of places from my past, I sometimes refer to my paintings as psychological landscapes. Does your mental state ever match up with this title-- "Visions of Overwhelm"?

“On a Different Level”

Doorways, windows, and stairs--all from different places in my life- fill this painting. Many of them are viewed from different angles or eye levels, which is where the title "On a Different Level" originates. I wanted to use different perspectives to have each layer remain distinct from other layers and to make the space more complex to navigate. The colors are very bold in this one--perfect for someone who's not afraid of color or needs to inject some energy into a room.

In some of my works, the architectural fragments remain more solid and recognizable. That's not the case in this painting where instead, areas of clarity come and go. I think that's a lot how our memories work- there are moments where we can remember and describe everything (how things smelled, what we were wearing, etc.) and also moments (months? years?) where it's all pretty hazy. The title of this painting, "Fleeting" suggests this unreliability of memory. At only 12x12", this painting is perfect for adding visual interest to a small area or for grouping with other small works to fill a larger space.
“Past Mediation”
original artwork / acrylic on panel box, natural edges / 60"w x 60"h x 1.5"d / 2022
this is a diptych of two separate panels each 30"w x 60"h; display right next to each other or with a slight gap between the panels

As you look at this painting, you might notice things that look like rooflines, or windows or plants. All those things and many more are in this painting! I believe that who we are as individuals is an accumulation of all these experiences that we’ve had in lots of different places- in houses, schools, churches, backyards, friends’ houses, and so on. To me those experiences are tied to a place; when I think of those memories it’s always based somewhere. I’m including all these fragments from different places in my life, kind of layered on top of each other, to represent or stand in for everything I experienced there. So really I’m trying to visualize this whole messy, complicated history and identity of who I am.
“Abundance of Perspective”

The title, "Abundance of Perspective", references, in a literal way, all the abstracted windows in the painting. The title also points to the depth of insight that can emerge when we reflect on the varied experiences in our lives. The bold colors and shapes in this piece will enliven any home or office space, and, at sixty inches wide, it's well-sized for over a couch or in another horizontal space.
