Though I enjoy digging into the crevices of the mind, and celebrating beauty and goodness in a genuine way, I just as fervently believe that art is simply fun. In a contemporary art scene twisted up in seriousness, social justice, deep philosophical meaning, and politics, I often feel that every last drop of ridiculousness and laughter is dismissed as invalid. I seek to restore importance to the giggle, the hokey pokey, and the childlike dreams that I feel are unsung in a time when our society could benefit from them most.

When I am alone, I like to make silly faces in the mirror and high-pitched squealing sounds. With a silent salute to Dali’s twisted worlds and Magritte’s overthrow of logic, my paintings allow me the same delightful presence of mind and expression of energy in the public sphere. They can be seen as a series of slightly dark, open-ended riddles or as lengthy studies of the world inside my belly button.

With my work, I am a six-year-old on the swings again, singing loudly with pink flowered underwear showing and a purple band-aid on my knee. My art is, in essence, a nod and a wink to the fringe-trimmed weirdo inside.
