My focus as a contemporary Expressionist oil painter is to portray an immediate sense of emotional well being in a lasting way. Heightened color and loose brushstrokes are the tools that come naturally to express my deepest impulses. I explore contrast through the depiction of figures from my life and imagination, in common scenarios of activity and relationships. The people that I paint are engrossed in their own thoughts while simultaneously interacting and sharing life experience. In this way I express my vision of the dynamic of life in its daily flow: human isolation within an expanding matrix of shared well being. For me, the mix of imperfection and joy in these paintings creates a deeply resonating mood of satisfaction.
