Place, it is not just the physical space but how we experience that space, how space connects us to the intangible through lived experience. Within my paintings I explore these ideas, how domestic interiors are shaped by us just as we are shaped by them, the rooms that we live our lives in take us through our own journeys. What role do our environments play in the telling of our own personal narratives? Spaces anticipate human figures and presence through interior and private rendering of domestic environments. The spaces speak of nostalgia, and a longing for moments past. These interior portraits omit the figure, inviting the viewer to look for clues about the character outside of the frame.
