My art is about closeness and the play of tensions that exist in our relationships. It has always centered the human figure, growing from single-figure studies to the portrayal of interacting groups. It directly reflects how deeply a desire for closeness has always existed in me. My parents suffered extreme early traumas, leaving them fearful of exploitation by strangers and uncomfortable in communities. As a result, I am extremely sensitive to the damage to people, communities, and nations when we are not able to become close and find trust through recognition of our similarities and negotiation of our differences.
