Artist Statement

In my recent work, I am exploring the theme of self-portraiture through paintings of family members and loved ones. In doing so, I am striving to find the balance between personal content and accessible imagery. In these works, resemblance is veiled by indirect representation, as I attempt to reflect myself in the faces of others.
