My work is about creating new ways of seeing through the use of abstraction.  The paintings create the illusion of depth within the surface of the two dimensional plane.  I use multiple layers of color, shape and mark making in order to draw the viewer’s eye through the various strata that are layered up in these pieces.  The viewer has to look through the layers in order to perceive the others.  The paintings almost create a three-dimensional effect.

​

Although I do not attempt to make any social commentary or cultural critique, my hope is that I might create an unfamiliar space for my viewers to exist for just a few moments, in an effort to expand, in some small manner, their way of thinking.
