My figures are imperfect, like the people they represent. Human. They are people caught in ordinary moments that are worth a second look; often revealing extraordinary qualities.

Human traits are revealed in the treatment of the surface, like a skin that scars and yet forgives. With a background in printmaking, I approach the support as if it were a life-sized printing plate. The artwork is incised, scraped, burnished, built up with blocks of pigment and wax; drawn on; erased; layered and layered again. Wax, damar varnish, and graphite are used to create a shifting light that changes your perception while moving around the painting. It is this interaction with the textured surfaces and characters in the paintings that is most satisfying.
