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 paintings are inspired by the traditions of landscape and still life painting, speculative fantasy and science fiction. Material and color are invoked for their visceral ability to create sensations of seduction and repulsion. I seek to create works that court the extremities of stability and riot, beauty and impending violence.
Upcoming Project | June 2022
Shadow Fliers
Shadow Fliers is a project that emerged out of a collaboration with Dr. Thomas Liley of Batlab Finland. The project consists of a series of large-scale double sided acrylic on muslin paintings that will be installed Lieto Museum | Nautelankoski Museum in Finland, in June 2022. The work will hag in a working 19th century watermill at that sits along the banks of the Aura (Aurajoki) river— a site that has been used for this purpose since the middle ages.
The mill has been, and continues to be, the home of Doubenton’s bat (a species that has been studied extensively by Dr. Lilley at the site), Northern bats, Brandts bat, as well other common species. These bats thrive on the insects that live in and around the water as well as the surrounding environment. They have cohabited with their human counterparts in this area since human habitation began.
The paintings depict the bats that live in the space and within the local environment, drawing from the history of the site and its connection to human habitation.
