"Reality unfolds, refolds to the sensation of living. The pulse, vibrations, sensations of this experienced reality is revealed through bursts of color, form and depiction. These paintings are brief histories of moments constantly shifting, reorganizing to reveal the underlying essence of living in the city. It is this encapsulation of all angles, views and moments of my experienced reality that acts as a starting point to a painting. The process of painting delves into further analysis of shifting space and viewpoints transformed into the two-dimensional canvas. My aim is to squeeze this expansive landscape into a tension filled compressed space that becomes its own experience of reality. "
