My work applies abstract and representational elements. I create combinations of images using traditional painting methods to expand the range of their interpretation and mirror complexities and nuances of reality. Through deconstruction and free association, references and concepts are not the goal, but rather the building blocks to shape new dialogues. My paintings are very much of the world. They contain people, places and things that may seem familiar or uncomfortable, but through them I strive to investigate perceptions and preconceptions we all hold.
