Artist Statement: My paintings help viewers discover what lies beyond that horizon line, leading them through the darkness. The scenes and cityscapes I depict within my paintings are a cinematic and dramatic take on the dystopia we are trudging through. We are the lone survivors. I portray nocturnal city streets and places long since forgotten or rarely travelled with fast brush strokes, colorful contrasts, and spray paint layers creating unsettling atmospheres over my canvases. By taking images of the city through my own travels around New York City and by changing them in the painting process, I want to place the viewer within the role of both actor and spectator. I specifically choose each composition from the audiences’ point of view that I intend for them to enter and experience the scene.
