My work obsessively discusses the self, myself. I prefer paint to personal statement. 

 

I seek an ever-evolving and fantastically unattainable personal definition of perfection. I snub all my past selves and their decisions, and then I talk about it. My focus is self portraiture, through the lenses of family history, my femininity, and the pressure of expectations I’ve imposed upon myself since childhood. 

​

Nearly all my work finds its basis in photography. I like to blur the line between the vernacular and constructed using oil and pigment.​

​

I take comfort in the push and pull of control in my work. Painting is a largely selfish endeavor in which I always retain the last word.
