My paintings are concern the exploration of light and transparency as it interacts with the figure and objects. I am interested in the exploration of reflective surfaces as they interact with the figure and each other. By recreating the figure as it interfaces with the transparent surfaces and the light, i can examine the idea of breaking up or splitting the body as a way to understand and maybe communicate anxieties that concern the body. Formally, I am interested in the play of transparency and reflection and recreating the bright colors that these objects form as the light passes through them, and aim to depict them with as much detail as possible, varying my brushstroke thickness and the amount of paint applied
