artist

• large portraits
• flowers

My work is a search for the person within the face, what you glimpse in a frame in a family movie.

I make lines, erasing, building a network of marks. In the end, there is no single portrait, there are layers of intention, restlessness, vulnerability, confidence. All and everything all at once.

Working on paper is critical, as it resists the complete erasure of beginnings, and embodies a fragility, an imperfectness.

As you contemplate the person looking out at you, you also come to see yourself a bit more clearly as well.
