About

My body of work draws from my experience of my surrounding environment, whether city or wilderness. I use paint to both capture and abstract the sense of space and atmosphere I feel, so that my paintings are less a depiction of real scenes and more a memory of being there. My compositions are often suspended somewhere between representational detail and abstraction. Painting in this way lets me visualize my internal processing of the scenes and events I experience in a wild, often maddening world.

My studio is located in the Northrup King Building, #350, in Studio Pintura’s North Light Studio. Originally from New Jersey, I graduated from Princeton University with a degree in Politics and a certificate in Visual Arts. I still haven’t figured out how to properly merge the two.
