I'm a painter living in New York. I've spent many years working on touch-ups and repairs in people's homes, which made me very focused on small details and surfaces. I've moved a lot in my life and had long periods of instability, and painting became the one steady thing I do every day. I work on many paintings over the year, building a large body of work rather than single pieces. My practice is simple and direct: I look at something once, turn away, and paint what stays in my eyes for a second.

These paintings come from quick memories. I look at a photo or a place, look away, and paint what I remember  The work focuses on what gets lost, what changes, and how an image rebuilds itself when you no longer have it in front of you.
