Contemporary mixed media painter and collage maker, repurposing scraps and found material to create abstractions of everyday life.
MessageCollection: Where I Live
"Where I Live" consists of 16 mixed media paintings on unstretched canvas, hung side by side in a 13'9” x 40' display. This installation was first exhibited at the Canzani Center in Columbus, OH in 2019. The individual paintings have since been displayed in multiple locations throughout Columbus, OH. The series presents layered imagery of spaces and objects inside the 550-square-foot apartment that I shared with my partner and our cat. Aspects of the apartment merge with creative manifestations of my mind through use of color, pattern, material, and perspective in the form of a large-scale, multi-panel painting. Abstracting these mundane aspects of my everyday life using paint and mixed media, I contend with our apartment as a holding space for both my body and my mind.
