The overall theme in my work is the human condition. The aim of my paintings is to represent the universal expression of human emotions, feelings, and desires. My inspiration comes from both past experiences and emotional events that I face in my daily life.
 
Using paint as a vehicle for my exploration, I manipulate the materials and textures with each brushstroke. In my last paintings, complex details are balanced against loose brushwork in the compositions, and personal imagery is balanced against photographs. My creative process helps me to articulate and paint my emotional response in relation to experiencing emotions as a human being.
