My recent body of work are paintings taken from photographs of my life.

They are spaces and memories shared between family and friends. The preparation of food, people tucked away in a small corner of the room, the forgotten piece of cherry pie half eaten smeared slowly staining the tablecloth. The quite mess, before, during, and after is so provocative and then once everyone has gone, slowly cleaned away.

Those are the movements, that buildup of anxiety, relief, and pleasure that I want to draw attention to.
