Originally from Syracuse, New York, I currently reside in Seattle, Washington. With origins in observation and the landscape my work has come to include duration, memory, sentiment, and experience.
I received my B.A. from Colgate University and my M.F.A. from the Memphis College of Art.
“Hic Sunt Leones was a phrase used by Medieval cartographers to denote unknown territories. These paintings encompass this idea through the simplification of elements: land, water, sky; and these forms serve as symbols, allegories and metaphors. Hovering on the edge of representation they beg the question: what lies beyond?”
