Sights from the Princeton University Campus

With this series, I am sharing my appreciation for the diversity, culture, landscape, art, and architecture on campus. Within these environments, I have been working on ways to incorporate the figure, while maintaining a larger audience. I am working to find a balance between light, nature, figures, and recognizable forms. 

I paint to challenge myself, to have fun, and to make things I love. I am inspired by the work of many artists including William Blake, Chris Ofili, and De Chirico.

To me, successful art has a balance of light, shadow, and curiosity. I create challenges, then work to clarify the environment with light, depth, shapes, composition, and texture.
