"As a painter, I am drawn to the ribbons of light that stripe our bodies underwater. That luminous quality of the water surrounding the bodies. There’s a sense of solidity to the flesh amidst the transparency of water. I begin each piece by splashing on a layer of inky paint, onto which I carefully model the illusion of flesh. That marriage of abstract and semi-realistic furthers the sense of movement away from the confines of land. There’s tension between the illusion of form and what is very obviously paint."
