Though I glean from reality I strive to paint what I feel is beyond reality. These two worlds fascinate me and in my pieces I try to bridge the gap. Reinterpreting reality is exciting and it's in the interpretation that I can show what moves me the most and makes me feel so deeply about life. It's about the bigger picture versus the boxes we often find ourselves in, the stories that we create and believe in, and the beliefs we've always had about ourselves and the world around us. The good news is we are never limited.
There are always possibilities and new ways of seeing things and that is where I want to go.
