About
Jeg er en narrativ maler baseret i San Diego, Californien. Mit arbejde har været inkluderet i shows på San Diego Museum of Art, Butler Institute of American Art og Ankrum Gallery i Los Angeles. Jeg blev uddannet som psykolog med speciale i testning; mit arbejde er påvirket af Thematic Apperception Test. Denne test skildrer mennesker i interpersonelle interaktioner, der er bevidst tvetydige. I 1930'erne valgte testskaberne magasinillustrationer af kunstnere, herunder Leon Kroll og Harry Morse Meyers, til dette formål. Det er op til observatøren at fortolke den skildrede fortælling. Jeg er også påvirket af midtårhundredes medier, især reklame, tv og film. Medier fra denne periode lovede amerikanerne en spændende vision af livet, som sjældent kunne realiseres. Mit arbejde forsøger at fange noget af det hul. Jeg skaber digitale collager af lånte medier og maler resultatet. Jeg tager ikke kommissioner.

I am a narrative painter based in San Diego, California. My work has been included in shows at the San Diego Museum of Art, the Allied Artists of America through the Butler Museum of American Art and is in the permanent collection of the Hilbert Museum of California Art. I was trained as a psychologist specializing in testing; my work is influenced by the Thematic Apperception Test. This test depicts people in interpersonal interactions that are intentionally ambiguous. In the 1930s, the test makers selected magazine illustrations by artists including Leon Kroll and Harry Morse Meyers for this purpose. It is up to the observer to interpret the depicted narrative.
I am also influenced by Midcentury media, particularly advertising, television, and film. Media from this period promised Americans an exhilarating vision of life that could seldom be realized. My work attempts to capture something of that gap. I create digital collages of borrowed media and paint the result.
