Artist Registry


The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK

My recent work uses landscape as a vehicle for storytelling. Landscape isn’t the subject of the paintings, but neither are the landscapes just backgrounds for activity. Instead, the landscape is an active participant in the action, illustrating and embodying a fantastical world that is a bit Lewis Carroll and a bit Carl Jung.
