Artist Statement

Ancient myths, folk art, and aesthetic objects inspire me. My drawings and paintings often include heroic, bucolic, comical, or absurd figures or compositions of basic Elements of Art with thin, assertive, and/or fun lines and vibrant colours in calm or empty spaces. These artworks explore themes of mythos, vacuity, leisure, freedom, tranquility, relationship roles, and the interconnection between the individual, society, and the environment.
