I WAS BORN IN THE DC SUBURBS 1977. FOREGOING MY LITERATURE DEGREE, I BEGAN INSTEAD TO CREATE INTUITION-BASED IMAGES AFTER AN INSPIRING MOVE TO NEW ORLEANS. STINTS AT CATHOLIC SCHOOL, ALTERNATING PERIODS OF EXCESS AND INTROVERSION AND A LOVE OF HISTORY PROVIDED A BASE OF IMAGERY WHICH CONTRIBUTES TO THE LANGUAGE OF MY WORK.
MY PAINTINGS DEFINE THEMSELVES UNTIL THE ENCAPSULATE A FRAME OF MIND. BY PLACING EVERYDAY EMOTIONS INTO THESE MYSTERIOUS TABLEAUX, I AM MORE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND, CONTROL AND TRANSFORM THAT IN LIFE WHICH IS FRIGHTENING AND UNKNOWN.
