Abstract
My artwork functions as a way to explore and define the personality traits that I developed as a consequence of early life experiences. My paintings are highly introspective and depend on themes of repetition, time, aspects of the gaze and a relationship with the viewer to understand their true meaning. I use my own personality dispositions toward subtle emotion and properties of observation to create a psychologically active dialogue between the viewer and the content of my work. I also employ the use of time and the compulsive need for order and repetition to reveal the desire to define and understand my own psychology.
