The mind is a world builder of ever-changing autonomous landscapes. For years I have painted these landscapes, and the results are my attempt to represent them organically. A plein-air of the corners of my mind. Conversation can flourish in wake of honesty. In addition to my own understandings of my condition and the images which form in my mind, I look to draw that same type of openness from the audience. Leaning on the basic human desire for communication, community, understanding, and empathy I seek to use the art as a catalyst for sharing their own personal experience. This can be achieved by unfettered conversation, or more intentional tactics when sociological elements are employed into the viewing space. A readiness to challenge the boundaries of the art show are freely considered for every project and opportunity to share my work.
