My work revolves around the human experience, focusing on the melodrama that we call life. I am fascinated with the way things change. I aim to focus on my own individual perspectives relating to contemporary societal and cultural issues. It is my opinion that artists have always and will continue to play a very important role as record keepers for their generation. As a young painter I feel it is important to contribute to the documentation of this generation, especially from my own perspective. I choose to paint subject matter that is important to me yet relative to contemporary life. The majority of my work revolves around the literal and figurative meanings behind the corrosion and decay of man made objects as well as mans traditions and ideals.
