In a world where photography is everywhere, what does it mean to paint in a representational way? To paint an image is to give it distinction. Making a painting can take hours or days, so it’s an act that emphasizes — one that says: here is a moment the artist gave hours of consideration. This consideration takes place not only in the actions of painting but also in observation — of what paint and light do, and of what people and elements of landscape do. My paintings are an invitation to consider a given moment. Through my work, I’m inviting viewers to celebrate the world we all make together.
