Artist Statement

As a painter and a performance artist, I am dedicated to bridging the two
media. I approach performance as a visual media. Painting is my root.
Sometimes I begin with the action of performance and my paintings evolve out of a collective experience with an audience. Other times the paintings
precede the performance. Once a performance has occurred, it is complete
and the artist and viewer share an immediate liminality. Therefore, the
viewer is involved as part creator and part observer of the piece.
Subsequently, the experience ends but the image is ongoing and this moves me to paint
