Painting

I am of the mind that painting suspends knowledge regardless of its “style”. This suspension, or transference, is a purposeful and positive disconnection from understood and taken-for-granted ways of knowing and percieving. Painting engenders space where things can be examined in a renewed context.

These thoughts are the underpinnings of what about painting is important to me. I regard what I do with a sense of irony concerning both my life and the life of painting as an historical practice and a poetic circumstance.

Recent accomplishments: two person exhibit with Adreon Henry at the Dougherty Arts Center, solo exhibit at Bolm Studios, cover art for New Orleans Review, Loyola University, a literary magazine.
