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"?
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.

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.
