I suppose my background in filmmaking is why I paint a thematic series of images rather than unconnected paintings. In that regard, I find myself thinking in terms of storytelling and plot development, exploring themes rather than singular ideas. I think in terms of wide shots and close ups to convey specific emotions, and the composition of the images reflects this thought process.

My goal is to have the viewer experience the entire series as a whole, while still exploring each canvas on its own terms.
