INSTALLATION

Theatre is a world in and of itself. And yet theatres need artists to create the illusion constructed before the audience. That is what I do. I create the atmosphere found throughout the script. My installations are similar to a theatre setting in that they require interaction in order to make the location thrive. In this situation, however, the actors will not arrive and perform for you. Instead you, the viewer, need to enter the environment and explore the text. In addition to traditional set pieces you will find more - an entirely different world filled with emotions found within the script. Please enter this world and explore the text along with me while walking through my space.

PAINTING

As I begin a painting the vision is a foggy and faded one, becoming clear and focused over time. Capturing the raw essence of the idea within, my paintings are abstract, organic, and minimal - Bringing you to a visceral place within yourself that you never even knew existed.
