My visual style is one of density and delicacy, control and chaos, intuition and deliberation. My marriage of concept and technique emphasizes the artifice of the manufactured beauty standards that can obscure our true selves from the world. As the gravitational layers of paint coalesce into “metaphorical skins” and are applied to pared-down emblems of domestic interiors, especially the rich metaphor of the obscured vanity mirror, I illuminate a moment at which we have a chance to truly see ourselves.
