Artist's Statement:

My figure drawings have been developing throughout the years. Within this group of drawings, I am designing and organizing the space, creating an energetic action between the figures.

The Vice Versa series started about three years ago. The title of the series plays with the idea of my charcoal drawings becoming paintings. Simultaneously, the paintings hold the linear characteristics of a drawing.

The Spaces series grounds the show with a quieter, more tranquil feeling. I love to mix paint and I wanted to show that in these introspective, allegorical paintings.
