“I think of my paintings as existing at the intersection of our internal and external worlds. I explore the blurred boundaries between reality and imagination, and the crucial role memory plays in shaping our conscious experiences. Through painting, I meditate on the internal dialogues, nebulous images and affects that relentlessly race through my mind.”
