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
The characters in my paintings are living in a post-human world, inhabiting a space at once familiar and oddly foreign. The usual order of things is out of whack; sofas and woods and gorillas are all on the same plane. At first glance, there seems to be an innocence there. That perception is quickly upended by the uncanny and the strange.
In this new environment, animals have formed unlikely alliances and have become guardians and caretakers for each other. Nature itself is a kind of protagonist, not just a passive background. The landscape is on the verge of falling apart as the characters merge in and out of it.
My titles are purely descriptive, giving the viewer an entry into the paintings, but I try to let ambiguity and mystery take central stage.
