Biography:
I graduated from The Ohio State University in 1998 with a BFA in painting/drawing. Throughout my time as an undergraduate, I was interested in the old masters and developing more traditional painting techniques. With time my work became more abstract as I became more interested in color and the surface quality of paint. I received my MFA in painting in 2008 and have been showing as much as possible since then.

Artist Statement:
My work explores multiple spaces that exist on the same picture plane. Some canvases are split up into different types of spaces, some have one space circling, bending around, or invading another, while other spaces open up to reveal hidden spaces. I tend to use contrasting techniques to clarify or obscure boundaries. Flat, two-dimensional shapes may overlap rendered, traditional space or vice versa. Also, the textural differences between impasto and thinly applied, transparent layers of paint and subtractive techniques may delineate boundaries in interesting ways. A sky painted in impasto may overlap a thinly painted transparent landform at the horizon, or a scratched away line may cut into an area of what might be seen as thick impasto foreground, pushing it back in space.
