Artist Statement

“The idea of Similarities and Differences came out in the Spring of 2020. I had been hanging these large paintings on the Community Bulletin Board, that no longer exists, in Downtown White River Junction as a way for people to still look at art in real life when it wasn’t accessible. After a few weeks of this I started to put two paintings together on the bulletin board as a way to cover the whole surface. So I was really mashing or juxtaposing two different paintings together to make one large painting and this is when I was noticing the differences but also the similarities in my own work. This mashing or juxtaposition of paintings was so exciting to me because it was celebrating the elements that were similar between the two and it was also celebrating the elements that were different between them.

“This current body of work comes from pulling together older paintings that I may have or have not fully connected with and started to put them together while adding some new marks or ideas to create something new and different.”
