Artist statement
Essentialist. This is what someone once called my work. It is a word that I can relate to when I paint. What happens in each piece I produce is a reduction of unnecessary elements. I work towards stripping the composition down to only what I feel needs to be present.
This is how most people see when out in the world. They pick out what interests them, whether it be beautiful or interesting or intriguing. I love the solitude of nature, of being at peace with the natural world. This is what I hope to convey in my works.
