I am a painter who uses a lot more than paint. My paintings are plastic spaces for soft collisions of objects, identity, the decorative, the wearable, the malleable, screen space, imagined space and real space. I cultivate this space through material exploration that investigates a place between representation and material as material. These materials include canvas, air-dry clay, wax, caulk, spackle, paint, paper, collage, found objects and images, felt, stickers, and a variety of acrylic or water-based mediums and glues.
