These last few years have been a calamitous rush of discordant chaotic events, and this has led my approach to artmaking to reflect many disparate contradictions. My main goals with my paintings are threefold: to reflect my current experience in a chaotic and anxious world, to have a complete openness to process, and to balance opposite themes within the work. The direction of the paintings is always informed by their making; starting from chaotic lines and splotches of colour. From there I continuously look for imagery and implied narrative from within the abstraction, then rotate the canvas looking for new opportunities. From this process characters often emerge. They are informed from a lifetime of looking at cartoons and contemporary art. They also mirror my current life raising my kids.
