About

My body of work primarily involves oil paint, though on occasion includes sculptural works of wood, metal, and textiles. My paintings and sculptures are thematically focused on childhood, nostalgia, grief, and identity through a lens of text work combined with western, “cowboy” iconography. The juxtaposition of the two, sometimes forced together, allows me to explore contradictions within the selected themes. When standing alone, my text works aim to achieve anti-meaning, absurdism, or eliminate meaning altogether. Across all my paintings, I enjoy employing a “bait-and-switch” tactic, drawing viewers in with iconography and louder graphic elements, then using the attention to address a deeper personal context.
