Statement

I am an artist driven by interests in psychology, mysticism, and sexuality. Themes of spiritual practise and shadow exploration make frequent appearances, and my career as an amateur pornographer also strongly informs my work. I am also interested in mythology, the nature of consciousness, the body, human relationships, emotions, power dynamics, and alchemy. In my paintings, the characters are put in situations which emphasize the power of their feelings and the potency of their humanity and lived experience. The figures in my work are typically myself, my lovers and friends. Painting people is my way of honouring and reflecting on special relationships and connections. Although my paintings are often deeply personal and autobiographical, I strive to make them transpersonal when I associate their human vulnerability with the divine.
