About
Jag är en narrativ målare baserad i San Diego, Kalifornien. Mitt arbete har inkluderats i utställningar på San Diego Museum of Art, Butler Institute of American Art och Ankrum Gallery i Los Angeles. Jag utbildades som psykolog med inriktning på testning; mitt arbete påverkas av Thematic Apperception Test. Detta test skildrar människor i interpersonella interaktioner som medvetet är tvetydiga. På 1930-talet valde testskaparna tidningsillustrationer av konstnärer, inklusive Leon Kroll och Harry Morse Meyers, för detta ändamål. Det är upp till observatören att tolka den avbildade berättelsen. Jag påverkas också av medelålders medier, särskilt reklam, television och film. Medier från denna period lovade amerikanerna en spännande vision av livet som sällan kunde realiseras. Mitt arbete försöker fånga något av det gapet. Jag skapar digitala collage av lånade medier och målar resultatet. Jag tar inte uppdrag.

I do not take commissions.
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.
