Artist Statement

Please provide a brief description of your creative process, motivations, and inspirations:

My practice revolves around the investigation and inspection of past visions of the future, or worlds, that best navigate the here and now. My paintings explore the intersection and portrayal of masculinity, intimacy, nostalgia and reality through Objects, Pulp Novels, Kitsch, and Pop Culture. My work appropriates these objects, visions and myths creating new forms and narratives which highlight these fantasies and at times lived realities.
