Art has the ability to reconsider the everyday, to hone the usual until it becomes unusual, and sometimes even something remarkable.

Every medium has its strengths and weaknesses in this task. I have chosen painting because I enjoy the process of making things, the practice of using my hands. However, more importantly I enjoy working within the boundaries of the material. It is the challenge of operating on a 2-dimensional surface, pushing the medium, discovering what it is and is not capable of conveying that drives me to continue.

I paint ordinary experiences touched by something strange. Glitches, coincidences, things that are just slightly off, those anomalies that are a part of life, but seldom noticed. Those occurrences that could come from history, imagination, or electrical interference but whose origin is unimportant, they are capable of casting a new light on reality. In my work I use specific places to impart these ideas. They are the framework against which I test both my personal abilities and the greater possibilities of paint. I hope by using the language of paint to be able to shatter the explicitness of place and transform them into metaphorical experiences.
