My work is concerned with generational memory; the ways that our perception of history becomes intertwined with the memories that are passed down through our bloodlines. Common experiences, furthermore, become mythologized as they echo through our behavior and belief systems.

Though my work is specific to my experiences, I draw from the aesthetics of the Bible, namely it's drama and uncanniness as portrayed by artists during the Renaissance, in order to universalize each piece as a "life question". Memory, humanity, and experience swirl together, our past of constant relevance to our present.By referencing common themes as they appear in Renaissance depictions of biblical or mythological scenes, I seek to further interrogate the impact of these metaphors on how humans locate themselves in time.

My process reflects on the malleability of memory. I draw from my own memory to test its reliability. I work from my subconscious, observing what images seem to repeat and allowing them to take on their own symbolic meaning. I paint in layers, building up and grinding down with repetitive motions. Painting, scratching, sanding, erasing, smudging with my hands or cloth, working on top of a base that always remains the same. In this way I mirror the process by which memory is formed, the ways that stories become myth as they morph through repetition, each teller leaving their own mark as they pass it along.
