Artist’s Statement

My work presents a vibrant collection of images, composed of eclectic cultural iconography, raw dream narratives, and a personal quilt of archetypal patterns that make up the collective American psyche.
My art functions like the trickster lives in the joints, making connections, embracing the tension between the opposites.
Like a dream, my work requires a host body, a narrative to inhabit. Speaking through the distillation of characters and scenes within the shallow myths of American history and the parallels of tribal storytelling. Then, develops a bridge to overstep its boundaries.
While the relationship between the subjects and the narrative isn't always apparent, the work evokes complex emotional depth, humor, and a mystery that invites the viewer to embrace a reimagining of humanity's stories that continue to live with us.
