About the artist

The reflective nature of my artworks is autobiographical. I depict lived life, transcending hyperrealism by simplifying the form with light modulation. My artistic process is not experimental research for new artistic mediums but rather a refinement of my medium of choice, oil. I interpret my art as a daily exercise stimulated by the oil’s flexibility. As an extension of life, art should be truthful and honest. I, as an artist, am a storyteller; my novels are written in painting form—a little window into my life experiences. I paint to remember, to fix a sensation I want to share with you.

Description of artwork

I was filled with a deep-seated loathing for this old oil on board, and the commission I had started was a source of immense frustration. In a fit of rage, I wiped the painting away, leaving it to languish in a forgotten corner of my studio. But then, a few days ago, I stumbled across it again and decided to give it another go. I couldn’t bear to waste such a beautiful Ampersand Gessobord, so I was inspired by my daily stroll through the Weston Turville fields behind the local Church and began anew.
