Artist Statement:
My work is metaphorical self-portraiture that depicts childhood psyche and emotions. Issues of identity, memory, family dysfunction and being adopted manifest strongly in my work. Children's books and television programs present a collective narrative in which grown-ups care for the best interests of their children. The pernicious disparity between this fiction and the brutal reality of childhood is the terrain I am most interested in exploring.
