I paint things in the world immediately surrounding me, whether it be a scene on the street, a portrait of a dog, or a logo off a bottle. I am inspired by these things and take them from everyday life and place them in new, vibrant spaces of color, shape and pattern. These environments are built using geometric lines and shapes, emphasizing composition. I use bright colors and playful patterns, inviting the viewer into this imaginary space. I have also begun using scenes and images from my dreams; the result is surprisingly similar, but more narrative.

Paint is applied using a large brush, encouraging a looseness, important in the carefree feel of the work. Visible brushstrokes and uneven application create dimension. Lastly, I apply marker in an unrestricted, scrawling style to create expressive lines quickly. These create texture, dimension, and interest.
