I make representational oil paintings exploring themes of identity and displacement. My pared back compositions and varied paint application build an underlying psychological narrative. By focusing on individual subjects, along with cropping, gesture, and shadow, I leave parts of the painting unresolved, allowing solitude and quiet tension to emerge.
