Statement
I am a minimalist and abstract expressionist painter residing in Salt Lake City, Utah. My work deals with issues of the many layers of human emotion, specifically the fundamental binary opposition within. My work explores the contradictions that amalgamate the self.
Through my work, I search for evidence of former selves. The internal tugs between who I am and a who I once was. The versions of myself that have long since been covered up and covered again by time and experience.
