My paintings trick your eyes and guide your brain to somewhere
else. What you see isn’t all you think, and what you think isn’t
all you see. Through the humor and sarcasm of my subjects and
techniques, ideas shift constantly between fantasy and reality.
Inspired by mundane experiences, anthropomorphic ideas, aural
and visual puns, and cultural issues, my paintings’ quirkiness and
ambiguity intrigue viewers and lead them to linger and discuss;
the work contains something personal, something universal, and
something critical.
