statement

As a figurative painter, I have always been interested in the body and its ability to communicate.  I am drawn to informal images that depict the routine movements and motions of our everyday lives, finding a certain honesty and truth in the physicality of these ordinary movements.  My current paintings are a study of the individuals who work at a local deli, focusing on the repetitive daily tasks of work.
