Artist Statement:  Emotion and Sexuality

We are lonely; we are obsessed with love; we are profoundly disappointed, and we still seek hope. These paintings reflect that isolation, detachment, regret, and the desire to transcend disconnection through redemption, intimacy, and wholeness. While non-autobiographical, the passion and affliction in these works are familiar to me, as I expect they are to many people. In terms of the style of the paint handling of the figures, I have been interested in the stark lighting of Caravaggio, the intense emotional confrontation of Jenny Saville, the sexual tension of Eric Fischl, and the mutability of flesh of Lucien Freud, but the crux has been to find the style to carry the weight of the concept. They are portraits of feelings, of the unspoken pains, hopes, and moments of the Everyman of contemporary culture. They echo experiences, feelings, desires, or fears that we recognize from memories and the possibilities of our own lives. They are not an elegy to innocence, but a remembrance of the process of breaking and repairing ourselves.
