This body of work is loosely about the experience of watching my kids graduate from HS, and standing on the precipice of the next chapter of my life without them in it every day. I constructed a sea faring myth based on the grindadráp, the annual whale hunt in the Faroe Islands. The gestures inhabit a hard-edge space, suggesting associations with the figure and the body.

STATEMENT
I believe we are storytellers by nature. It takes stories to make us human; it takes stories to keep us human. We have always looked to the stars and created heroes and myths, stood before the ocean and interpreted its mysteries to make gods and monsters. I tell stories with gesture and form, surface and texture, in an attempt to convey that same sense of awe and wonder. I want people to find their own meaningfulness in my paintings rather than be concerned about literal meaning. In this way, we are sharing stories; discovering what makes us truly human.
