The collective human experience and my own subjective experience of it — excavated from my deep subconscious —is the major thematic inquiry of my painting. My work is full of instincts and archetypes and my process is intuitive.

My paintings are at home in the collective unconscious, a concept first coined by psychologist Carl Jung to explain the seemingly unexplainable phenomena of very similar developments in culture amid geographically separate human groups at the same moment in time (the development of language and agriculture are two examples). It can best be described as an information grid that surrounds our individual subconsciousness.

I create invented worlds in which the natural world and the mystical are given equal weight to the human-created one. These worlds are full of abstractions and representations alike.
