About the Artist

Artist Statement

My work is a series of foundational investigations—a matter of interest or value forming the basis of a story or analysis. The works are a curious collections of decisions created through medium and material applications.

I work non-objectively—arranging, assembling, and painting. Solely preoccupied with the nature of physical and suggestive associations of color, density, and shape. My works are demonstrative concoctions comprised as completed cacophonies of action, intent, and purpose—A balance of color, tension, and space.

Artist Bio

I consider myself fortunate that my head is filled with competing arrangements of color and rhythm. Seeing and hearing the works of Lee Krasner, John Chamberlain, and John Cage taught me that color, time, and space were playgrounds of opportunity; if I was willing to remove myself from the subjective. My paintings and collages challenge my understandings of silence and inactive, or dead spaces. I use multiple mediums from acrylic paint to found objects. The life that those items lived prior to coming into my possession hold little importance to my work overall, other than its effect on its physical appearance:

Shiny, rough, brittle, heavy. My paintings follow a similar line of investigation by using texture, space, and density. I am an East Texan artist, born in 1990, and a University of Texas at Tyler graduate with a BA in Fine Arts.
