Comment:

All the bodies of water named on paintings in my series “Water Table” have been massively contaminated at some point in history. If the water table becomes unsafe for consumption, everything on earth dies. The narrative twist of this body of work is that while factories, agriculture and fuel are all part of life, it is important to remember clean water is vital for survival.

Artist Statement

“I am inspired by literature, current events, music lyrics and popular culture seen through the lens of simple engagement of process. I seek to provide clarity or identify hidden meaning between two or more conceptual ideas by combining studio practices with processes of the mind to express metaphors of ephemeral ideas.”
