ARTISTS My background and training as an artist are centered in traditional canvas painting and drawing practices. Over the past few years however, I have found myself experimenting with approaches to art production that challenge those traditions; including web and print projects, comic illustrations and multi-media collaborations. I am Influenced by both high and low art forms -particularly work with a political edge- and am always pushing myself to approach the canvas as less of a precious object, and more as a platform for discussion. Several years of working in theatre as a scenic artist have also influenced my desire to consider scale and physical space in relation to my work, in essence the big picture rather than the small details. As a result, there is nothing subtle about my paintings. They are bright and comical, perhaps attractive, possibly offensive, but always done with a sense of humor and an attempt to challenge the viewer one way or another.
