Created in the summer of 2011 in Dumbo, this picture draws imagery, color, and shape from the neighborhood's on-going conversion from an industrial wasteland to a residential playground.

ARTIST STATEMENT: My studio practice focuses on a democratic mode of painting where all the ideas within my periphery are in play. The methods of creation and the subjects within each piece have a symbiotic relationship. The process is about having ugly intrude on beautiful, the new against the old. The works are persistent, desperate, tender, and grotesque. BIOGRAPHY: Born in Des Moines, Iowa in 1977, I moved to the East Coast in 1997 to attend the Maryland Institute College of Art for undergraduate studies in painting. I then went on to receive my MFA from Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. Currently, I live and work in Brooklyn. I have had solo exhibitions at the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts in Wilmington, Delaware, Mount Saint Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, Maryland and Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana.
