"There is a dynamic interplay between experience and interpretation. What is remembered isn’t necessarily descriptive of the actual event. Once the experience has passed through our emotional filter we assign meaning to it, changing the actualities. My paintings explore that place in between a direct translation and the abstract of emotion." via Sloane Merrill Gallery
