Research Interests
As a painter, I use animals and theatrical settings to explore different aspects of human relationships with both gravity and levity. Many of my current paintings address the difficulties of loss, and the resulting tension, conflict and reinvention through which our relationships must go. Inspired by both real life and my experiences in live theater, my cast of anthropomorphic creatures experiences moments of absurdity and awkwardness, as well as tenderness and consolation. I am particularly drawn to the juxtaposition of love and loss, and the relationship of comedy and tragedy.
