I am a Seattle based artist with a Midwest background. I work primarily in oil paints on canvas and sometimes on non traditionally shaped plywood surfaces. My work draws from dreams and memories exploring relational dynamics through a focus on the figure. My paintings are often informed by my time living in Minnesota. I recontextualize boyish imaginative or subtle fantastical elements by juxtaposing them within mundane environments, interior spaces or flat landscapes derived from the Midwest scenery. Beyond painting I work in photography, videography and music as well as digital design.
