Artist Statement
"My paintings are both a dance and a vibrating field of orthogonal brushstrokes. Their all-over compositions explore the power of the pixel and serve as nostalgic portals for craft and video games. By painting patches in a nonlinear format, I reveal the past, present, and future within one picture plane. My work is a window for viewers to enter, with their own feelings and associations connected to my personal storyline."
