Two things captivate me as a painter: the human figure and water. Interestingly, I have found through my practice that the two are alike, and that when I paint one as I would the other, each becomes more fascinating. I focus on the movement of dappled light refracting through infinite layers of water, and the similar abstracted, layered motion in human bodies. My surreal works explore the bodily movement of dance, and tactile relationship we have with the life-sustaining, mesmerizing element of water.
