I’m an artist primarily working in oil paint, using familiar scenes and figures to examine the uncanny. I’m fascinated by the moments when the ordinary becomes unmoored, when something recognizable suddenly feels unfamiliar, as though it is being observed from somewhere just outside our own experience.
One of my greatest influences is Kurt Vonnegut. His work highlights the contradictions that define the human experience. The world can be absurd, foolish, heartbreaking, and deeply meaningful all at once. Rather than offering answers, I aim to create a space to question, laugh, and reflect. I hope my work encourages viewers to slow down and reconsider what feels familiar.
While oil painting is the foundation of my practice, I am always looking to expand the ways I make and think. I am particularly interested in developing my skills in sculpture and woodworking as new ways to explore the same questions that drive my paintings.
Whether you have a question, would like to discuss a commission, or want to connect, I’d be glad to hear from you.
