“My work is an unabashed demonstration of the continued existence of love and goodness despite the contemporary socio-political climate of angst and anger. Figures dance, play, dissolve into baths, bike down hills as they lack eye contact and spiritually separate. The beauty is they are so joyous precisely because either they are unaware they are under observation, or they don’t care. The boundaries between figures and environment are blurred .Painterly marks capture the fluidity of those boundaries as well as the moment of captured undaunted joy. I am interested in the paintings becoming good influences.”
