Note

• "Utilizing painting, drawing, and printmaking techniques, my work examines the personal and universal exchanges found in contemporary portraiture. Through using expressive color, luminosity and gestural mark marking, I aim to dislocate portrait painting from historical and hierarchical structures. Informed by German Expressionism to embrace boldly simplified and distorted forms, I desire to startle the viewer."--Artist website.
• "My portrait work combines woodcut impressions hovering between layers of painting and drawings."--Page [8].
