Artist's Narrative
I draw and paint
images from situations I have personally
encountered, invented from dreams or from
conversations I have overheard on a bus. I am
interested in the universal phenomenon of how humans
attempt to interact with one another in public and
private situations.
The reoccurring use
of male/female imagery sets the stage for my ongoing
investigation and interest in the dance that brings couples
together or tears them apart. The allure of a
meringue pie, warm turquoise water, an
evening-dressed female and a suited male in an
unsure, unfathomable spinning environment suggests
excitement, sensuality, unsettling darkness and the
delicate balance between impending danger and humor.
The recognizable
figures placed out-of-context heightens and
extends the spectacle conveying uneasiness, clashing
realities and mystery. In my paintings, I question
and continue to be fascinated with the tension
between beauty, humor, and potential darkness in
human interaction.
