“My work is an attempt to translate feelings within myself visually onto the canvas. The important thing for me is not to transcribe a meaning but a feeling. I want the viewer to understand the emotional intent behind my works.

I’m really interested in human relationships and how we communicate with one another, especially the disconnect between the internal and external self: how we believe ourselves to be, how we present ourselves to others, and how those presentations are then interpreted.

I’m interested in how to communicate a feeling or abstract idea…how does this emotion that I’m experiencing in my body go through my brain and then get implanted into the viewer’s brain through a picture that I can create?! I think that it’s not enough to be eloquent when ideas and feelings are so big.”
