Curriculum Vitae

Artist/ Art Educator
MA, USA

My paintings explore a pedestrian’s view of quiet architectural spaces in and around the urban periphery. These images reference my perspective as solitary individual, lured out into the night-time-cityscape to witness its stillness and desolation. My company is my camera, and I document spaces that are void of human form yet filled with the potential of their presence. The photographs I take are small glimpses into the intimate space of another, through the perspective of an outsider. These photos are referenced throughout my painting process. On canvas, the ordinary and unobtrusive spaces found in the original images begin to shift and transform from strict representation into spaces of abstraction and otherworldliness. My work offers the viewer agency to witness painted worlds as if they alone exist within them. I am interested in how this isolated perspective can both empower and exclude the individual; how it can be witnessed as a position of the realized dreamer or evoke lonely paranoia. My work privileges the anonymous spectator who feels most alive when alone.
