My work is inspired by the role memory plays in our lives and how it influences our relationships. Each piece develops a history that is built with layers of paint, graphite and other materials. 

My paintings explore the juxtaposition of concrete and abstract elements of memory. I use both rigid, geometric structures and fluid, ethereal marks that seem to defy gravity. These elements appear and disappear as they are painted over and redrawn from the memory of previous layers. Other times, these elements are excavated from the paint revealing stratified layers. As I create, I reinterpret the work that came before representing the way that memories can be altered by time, experience and perception.

I believe this process reflects how memory works in our everyday lives. Memory influences consciousness and consciousness, in turn, influences how we interpret memory. In this way, our own personal narrative is always changing.
