Statement
Much of my painting is informed by my career in graphic design and illustration, in which I employ symbols of advertising and American nostalgia to build compositions that imply narrative. I am attempting to strip this familiar imagery of its original context and arrange the symbols in to decipherable tableaus that are reflective of contemporary society.
