About
Jeg er en narrativ maler basert i San Diego, California. Arbeidet mitt har vært inkludert i utstillinger på San Diego Museum of Art, Butler Institute of American Art, og Ankrum Gallery i Los Angeles. Jeg ble utdannet som psykolog med spesialisering i testing; arbeidet mitt er påvirket av Thematic Apperception Test. Denne testen skildrer mennesker i interpersonlige interaksjoner som bevisst er tvetydige. På 1930-tallet valgte testmakerne magasinillustrasjoner av kunstnere, inkludert Leon Kroll og Harry Morse Meyers, til dette formålet. Det er opp til observatøren å tolke den avbildede fortellingen. Jeg er også påvirket av midtårhundrets medier, spesielt reklame, TV og film. Mediene fra denne perioden lovet amerikanerne en spennende visjon av livet som sjelden kunne realiseres. Arbeidet mitt prøver å fange noe av det gapet. Jeg lager digitale collager av lånte medier og maler resultatet. Jeg tar ikke oppdrag.

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.
