Infected By Art Book - Volume 4

My work always begins with a love for the magic of creation- the blank surface transformed into a living thing or another world. This act has been with mankind forever and yet never ceases to be awe-inspiring. I’ve alway been most drawn to unfinished paintings because they hold the progression from materials to depiction in the same space. My marks of paint are visible for this reason, to keep this sense of wonder present. The bird or wolf is both a portrait of the animal and a portal into the unknown. I want to make paintings that aren’t real but feel true.
