Artist’s Statement
My work is about exploring the boundaries between the layers of realities.
The realities overlap, mix, juxtapose, or change freely.
The physical presence of the painting’s frame, for instance, becomes a painting itself. The painted border lends its texture to support the frame.

My imaginative interiors and landscapes set the stage for the “live” performance of objects reminiscent only of their real life outside the painting.
Contemporary realism is being played again.
