^{I paint to understand what it means to occupy a body in space. My work is autobiographical. I look at my family, my ancestors and my community to understand what we have become and how we have gotten here. Although I paint people, my work is not about individuals. I look at the weight of a sitter’s presence in discourse with his or her setting, and work to capture the experience of the self as viewed and interpreted, and the self as viewer and observer.
