2013- Present
A chair is an object, a simple one at that. It’s an object that people use every day and often take for granted and discard as just ordinary. Some people see my chairs as solitary or as a void waiting to be filled, but to me, they are full of life. The chairs I know tell hundreds of stories; stories of people who sat there, of people who have passed them by, experiences they have seen, and experiences yet to come. It is here that my imagination runs free.
My canvas is where those chairs finally get the opportunity to tell their story, be humanized, and be seen as the subject.
My paintings are based on photographs I have taken of chairs strewn across the landscape of our life; chairs abandoned on the street, sitting elegantly in museums and shops, in restaurants, or in homes. And they are never alone––they stand beside doors and windows or along graffiti-sprayed walls, or with fellow chairs in places where romance can build. In oil or acrylic, my art is a vehicle for the audience to discover feelings and emotions hidden beyond the paint.
I am passionate about giving chairs a new life and a new destiny, and to surround them in a world filled with love and positivity. The brush across the canvas is but a medium to tell wonderful narratives to a public in need of a good story.
