"I am influenced by many things—1980's guitars, VHS tapes, World War I battleships, sunrise/sunset gradients, moiré patterns, and more. Over the past 3 years, 'notions of cycle' have played an increased role in the development of my paintings; and I'm curious how the avant-garde succeeds and fails within popular culture. Currently, I'm interested in how the landscape has been depicted throughout American culture. Whether it's Thomas Cole and Albert Bierstadt of the Hudson River School, Georgia O'Keeffe's monumental work at the Art Institute of Chicago, or an Instagram post of a sunset—each conveys a romanticized view of our world. The most recent paintings are an amalgamation of experiences that I've had within the American landscape; with each painting flowing freely between representation and abstraction."
