My paintings are an attempt to reflect American culture: loud, boisterous, violent, a complicated overlapping cultural milieu, a beautiful, chaotically exuberant spectacle, a construct held together by tenuous belief. Through the abrupt rupturing of tired tropes, accepted narratives are subverted and expanded into multifaceted images that reject easy reduction.”
