Artist's Statement
My artwork is informed by contemporary art concepts including minimalism, conceptualism and art history. Race, class, and other social issues that divide society are additional subjects that inform my work. I see my art as a way of expressing disparate views of humanness and linking them together. The social and living conditions of marginalized communities push my ideas. The economic underclass, labor, small business, immigrant communities, and prison populations are subjects of my work. Usually anger over a perceived injustice inspires me to investigate, learn more, and make a statement about an issue.
