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 work is an inquiry into the relationship between the natural world and the human-created world of objects and built environments. From there, I explore how an artwork can hold a sense of wonder and the sacred while depicting and pointing toward that which is commonly considered mundane or overlooked.
Rooted in the tradition of representational painting, the work explores narrative possibilities through metaphor and symbolism. Often characterized by bemusement and tenderness, the work is acutely aware of the social, political and environmental landscape yet avoids topical reportage and editorializing. Rather, assuming the role of a “compassionate witness”, and utilizing paired themes of fragility/strength, sorrow/wonder, and loss/resiliency, the work becomes a devotional testament giving shape to the emotional tenor of this moment.
