Artist Statement:

Statement for the more abstract works, Midnight Cove, Night Tropics, Breaking Night, Night Vines:
Using the memory of landscapes and imagery that I experienced during my upbringing in Sarasota, Florida as a springboard I create images that evoke a celebratory tropical frenzy. My interest in tropical landscapes stems from my lived experience, growing up in Florida and spending time in Panama as an adult has greatly influenced my aesthetic.

This work explores the sensation of being in the tropical landscape at night, when the heat exaggerates the saturation of the night hues. These paintings also start to play with the idea of abstraction. The paintings, I hope, coexist between a recognizable form and a nonrepresentational image, but at the same time they are pictorial; in these works I am interested in the in-between.
