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
I make paintings about the exhausted, who only desire to not be exhausted, whose land is exhausted, and even though it is not their land, they are the land and the dirt their world is built upon. These people are my family. Layered with coupons, mementos, found objects and family photos that repeat and degrade across different paintings, my practice explores the totality of the world but expressed through the local and familial.
Landscape is more than trees and sky, it’s about a field of experience. It’s about the morning glories I see bloom above the trash at the corner, it’s about my mom being worried about where she is going to live next year, it’s about the liquor store my aunt walks to every day. These paintings are expressions of that fragile american landscape where somehow life continues living and thus must be affirmed.
