If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?: Painting

I am...: an artist working in Brooklyn, NY (originally from New Orleans, LA)

About my artwork: I am working with landscape to explore new ways of representing space and form. I am also interested in using psychological content and color to investigate the impact of nature, and natural space on the mind. Individual works describe scenes that are sometimes bright, lush and flowering, or sometimes dissonant, murky and foreboding. Tree branches twist and writhe, color turns acidic, and sky flattens to meet form and then deepens back into space again. A shifting psychological mood pervades the group as a whole, moving between realms of magical fantasy, sparkling beauty, anxiety, and the sinister and mysterious.

I am interested in exploring the in-between states of painting - between flat shape and deep space, between abstraction and realism, between invented color and observed color, between chaos and harmony. These moments all come together to form a shifting landscape space where emotion and thought can mix with formal invention to create a new and surprising natural and mental world.

Artists I like: Jake Berthot, Amy Sillman, Judy Glantzman, Peter Doig, El Greco, Marsden Hartley, Frida Kahlo, Alice Neel, Max Beckmann, Fred Sandback, Martin Puryear, Vincent VanGogh

Interests: Painting, Photography, Travel

What exhibitions are good at the moment?: Jake Berthot at Betty Cunningham Gallery, New York
Frida Kahlo at the Philadelphia Museum of Art

The centre of the artworld is: New York
