About
Growing up in a midwestern Christian household, the bedtime stories were of good versus evil, discovering meaning in the meaningless, the impossible made possible, and faith of the fallen. The spiritual world has always been as real to me as the natural world. Inspired by the parables in the Bible, I attempt to explain spiritual themes using familiar visual and social cues.
I enjoy experimenting with different materials and often combine the grittiness of charcoal with the fluidity of thinned out watercolors or oils. I embrace the tension between the unpredictable and sometimes uncontrollable nature of the paint with the refined structure of the charcoal as it echoes the tension often portrayed in my imagery. Blotches of color and strong line work similarly found in illustrations, comics, and street art subtly infuse beauty and stories into public spaces.
