description:
For ten years, I have attempted in my portrait practice to insert a realistic resemblance of people into unnatural, sometimes psychedelic spaces. In my most recent work, I employ studio photography to situate my models in color-filtered environments. Using these photographs as keys, I render my models softly in acrylic paint, layering in glazes so that each painting appears spacious and atmospheric. My thesis work suggests a state of sensuality and calm within my models.
