I’m a figurative artist. I’ve never really been interested in painting anything other than people. And if we’ve discussed my work, or life for that matter, for more than five minutes, you’re aware that labels don’t matter to me. I know I paint mostly female figures but I’ve always seen gender and race as trivial elements in my work. I’m more interested in keeping things ambiguous and these cloaked figures are a way I’ve found to do that—and honestly, I’m loving it so I’m gonna keep trucking until I feel it’s time to move on.
