I create different series of visual art that have their bases in abstraction and narrative, these sets alternate between stylistically thematic groups of paintings, photographic/paint mash-ups, three-dimensional paintings and digital art. Stylistically, they contain a layering of lines, geometric and biomorphic shapes, and are bold in color palette. They almost always incorporate recognizable icons or juxtapositions of visual narrative elements, such as homes, telephone poles and other architectural structures. These icons are pictorial representations for habitation and human connection. The larger context being the complexity of the physical and emotional space in the dwellings and the surrounding ‘landscape’. Situating my artwork within a larger painting discourse, my art has been described as metamodernism, neo-surrealism, post painterly abstraction and flash narrative, to name a few.
