About

I love an empty calendar.

A road trip with no set destination.

A round-the-world plane ticket without fixed stops along the way.

My world changed and grew in Autumn, 2020 when I got in the car and left LA. There was an impulse to be spontaneous and present. Immediate. To throw out a set path and instead follow intuition and desire.

When I arrived in New York City this journey got mirrored in my evolving body of work of paintings and collages. I found that the process became more important to me than any planned end result. I learned to leave behind a rigid roadmap with a precise destination in favor of having a new piece be an expansive and evolving relationship — an unfolding dialogue between mediums and techniques.

One step leading to another.

Playing out on the floor beneath me.

Undefined.

As I walk the streets of the city — I look at graffiti and peeling posters. I imagine people in their apartments and the unique stories beyond the squares of their windows.

And then on un-stretched canvas the images from my walks appear, along with unexpected material from my subconscious. Former travels. Dreams. Feelings.

Various kinds of paint.

In different applications and moments.

The unconscious finding its way into form.
