Painter

Artform: Painting

I am an oil painter, originally from Denver, Colorado, who primarily creates figure and portrait work.
Taking the figure and portraiture as a starting point, my art explores the intersection between the static and the fluid; between the imagined and the observed; and explores the dynamism of the figure as situated between being and becoming. Via the exploration of overlapping textures and patterns curated from my own experiences, my portraiture places the subject in ambiguous space, evoking a sense of memory, movement, and flux.
I have exhibited my work in the US, the UK and Europe in galleries and art festivals, and hold an MA in fine art from University for the Creative Arts, Canterbury, and a BFA from the Metropolitan University of Denver. I continue to develop new ideas, drawing inspiration from observations of the everyday, as well as my travel experiences and time living abroad. The impressions of traditions and lived realities of other cultures find their expression on the canvas, while my interest in the border between realism and abstract painting informs my stylistic approach.
My original works and prints are available for sale, and I am open to commissions.
