Images from memory, daily life and dreams jostle together into somewhat  cryptic stories that I order through the use of color, light and  composition. I’ve always had interior, idiosyncratic stories haunting  me. I paint them to see and then exorcise them. I feel like a magician  creating an illusion of space using the physicality of paint as it  shifts from warm to cool, from smooth to textured.  Imagery unfolds as I  paint. I am in love with paint and the world that comes to me through  paint.

When drawing large scale I start with drawing materials taped to all ten  fingers and use my whole body in the drawing process. The process is  reminiscent of running hands over an ouija board. Mostly  larger-than-life figures ensue. At home, I have a nightly drawing  practice.    Figures visit me. They come in a variety of forms - some are skeletons,  some made up of waves of flesh.  I imagine the body’s feeling of agency  and it’s response to gravity. In childhood, I was left alone for long  periods of time and found comfort drawing figures. They keep me  company.
